1 Ames Research Center Improving Lunar Surface Science with Robotic Recon Terry Fong, Matt Deans, Pascal Lee, Jen Heldmann, David Kring, Essam Heggy, and Rob Landis
2 Apollo Lunar Surface Science Jack Schmitt & LRV (Apollo 17)
3 What s Changed Since Then? 3
4 What if the LRV had been a robot? 500 Cumulative Days on Surface # - Surface Days 500 days (robots on surface) By the end of Apollo, we could have had 40x more surface days 12 days (crew on surface)
5 Notional Lunar Campaign 5
6 First Three Years 1140 days (robots on surface) During the first three years, crew is is on the surface < 10% of the time 87 days (crew on surface) 6
7 Robotic Recon Advance field work Reduce unproductive crew time (driving, navigating, searching) Advance scouting (station-based) Systematic survey (transect-based) Surface data vs. orbital data Higher resolution Oblique & close-up views (non-nadir) Contact & subsurface measurements Robots with science instruments Cameras, lidar, spectrometers, penetrometers, etc. Ground control with a science team Robot is not the primary instrument (this is not MER!) 7
8 Why Is Recon Useful? Shorty Crater 8
9 Iterative Traverse Planning & Execution Baseline Traverse Plan Updated Traverse Plan Initial Planning Robotic Recon Traverse Orbital data Robot Crew 3D terrain model Robot traverse plans Surface data Science objectives EVA plans Science Team Ground Control Team Ground Data Systems Science Back Room Ground Data Systems 9
10 Example Orbital Data Apollo 15 Apollo 17 Digital Elevation Model (40 m/post) Apollo 15 3D view of DEM + ortho image Visible Image Base Map (10 m/pixel) Data source: Apollo Metric & Panoramic cameras (high-res scans by M. Robinson / ASU) Processing: NASA Ames StereoPipeline Registration: ULCN
11 Example Surface Recon Data High-res panoramic image (140x68 deg, 21K x 16K pixels) Terrain image (70 microns / pixel) Ground-penetrating radar vertical profile 11
12 Moses Lake Field Test (June 2008) Simulate surface activities for future missions (reduce risk) Study lunar science operations (not analog lunar science) Use terrestrial science for operational relevance 12
13 Science Ops Moses Lake Robotic recon First phase of exploration field work Supplement and complement remote sensing (orbital) data Better target crew activity Moses Lake Field Test K10 robots with science instruments Experimental ground control at JSC Use recon data for traverse planning (survey site before crew arrives) Test objectives Improve understanding of how robotic recon differs from robotic exploration Develop ops protocol for robotic recon Assess system performance and communication patterns K10 s with 3D lidar, GPR, pancam, micro-imager Robotic recon at Moses Lake Science Team at JSC 13

15 Robotic Recon Advance scout Initial phase of exploration field work (identify & high-grade sites of interest) Station-based assessment (ground-level data) Improve geologic understanding of site K10 Red at Moses Lake Sand Dunes Function Mode Path Science Instruments Science Objectives Geologic scouting Exploration Circuitous robot Panoramic camera 3D scanning lidar Microscopic terrain imager Triage sample locations Identify particle distribution Assess surface composition Evaluate depositional history crew 15
16 Robotic Recon Systematic survey Dense coverage (e.g., parallel-line transects) Highly-repetitive measurements (unproductive for crew to acquire) Mapping sensors: visible & non-visible (with acquisition constraints) K10 Black at Moses Lake Sand Dunes Function Mode Path Science Instruments Science Objectives Characterize subsurface Mapping robot Systematic coverage Visible imager(s) Ground-penetrating radar Microscopic terrain imager Map subsurface structure Identify particle distribution Assess site stratigraphy Identify water table depth 16
