Systems engineering and design of a Mars Polar Research Base with a human crew

Claudio Guiliano Leonardi, Anton Ivanov, Tatiana Maillard, Anne-Marlene Rüede

Mars Polar Ice caps have been known ever since they were first observed by Cassini. Robotic exploration mis- sions, starting with Mariner 9, have confirmed that they are composed of water ice. During later missions, instruments such as Mars Global Surveyor ...

Spectral heterogeneity on Phobos and Deimos: HiRISE observations and comparisons to Mars Pathfinder results

Nicolas Le Thomas, Anton Ivanov

The High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) onboard Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been used to observe Phobos and Deimos at spatial scales of around 6 and 20 m/px, respectively. HiRISE (McEwen et al., JGR, 112, CitelD E05502, DOI: 10.10 ...

Custom GPS-Correction Server for Real-Time Trajectography

Hervé Gontran

Centimeter-level real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning is one of the most widely used surveying techniques. Broadcasting GPS-RTK corrections via Internet-based services has become a new communication procedure to achieve “instantaneous” positioning with hi ...
