Spacecraft/Rover Hybrids for the Exploration of Small Solar System Bodies
Spacecraft/Rover Hybrids for the Exploration of Small Solar System Bodies
The speaker will present a novel mission architecture for the in-situ exploration of small Solar System bodies. In this proposed mission architecture, a mother spacecraft would deploy one or more autonomous mobility platforms to the surface of a small body. Each platform would employ minimal internal actuation within a sealed enclosure -- a unique design... Read more
