  • Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
    Chapter 6 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Jim Taylor, Dennis K. Lee, and Shervin Shambayati 6.1 Mission Overview The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) [1, 2] has a suite of instruments making observations at Mars, and it provides data-relay services for Mars landers and rovers. MRO was launched on August 12, 2005. The orbiter successfully went into orbit around Mars on March 10, 2006 and began reducing its orbit altitude and circularizing the orbit in preparation for the science mission. The orbit changing was accomplished through a process called aerobraking, in preparation for the “science mission” starting in November 2006, followed by the “relay mission” starting in November 2008. MRO participated in the Mars Science Laboratory touchdown and surface mission that began in August 2012 (Chapter 7). MRO communications has operated in three different frequency bands: 1) Most telecom in both directions has been with the Deep Space Network (DSN) at X-band (~8 GHz), and this band will continue to provide operational commanding, telemetry transmission, and radiometric tracking. 2) During cruise, the functional characteristics of a separate Ka-band (~32 GHz) downlink system were verified in preparation for an operational demonstration during orbit operations. After a Ka-band hardware anomaly in cruise, the project has elected not to initiate the originally planned operational demonstration (with yet-to-be­ used redundant Ka-band hardware). 201 202 Chapter 6 3) A new-generation ultra-high frequency (UHF) (~400 MHz) system was verified with the Mars Exploration Rovers in preparation for the successful relay communications with the Phoenix lander in 2008 and the later Mars Science Laboratory relay operations.

Credit: NASA Planning for NASA's 2020 Mars rover envisions a basic structure that capitalizes on the design and engineering work done for the NASA rover Curiosity, which landed on Mars in 2012, but with new science instruments selected through competition for accomplishing different science objectives. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech The next rover NASA will send to Mars in 2020 will carry seven carefully-selected instruments to conduct unprecedented science and exploration technology investigations on the Red Planet. NASA announced the selected Mars 2020 rover instruments Thursday at the agency's headquarters in Washington. Managers made the selections out of 58 proposals received in January from researchers and engineers worldwide. Proposals received were twice the usual number submitted for instrument competitions in the recent past. This is an indicator of the extraordinary interest by the science community in the exploration of the Mars. The selected proposals have a total value of approximately $130 million for development of the instruments. The Mars 2020 mission will be based on the design of the highly successful Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, which landed almost two years ago, and currently is operating on Mars. The new rover will carry more sophisticated, upgraded hardware and new instruments to conduct geological assessments of the rover's landing site, determine the potential habitability of the environment, and directly search for signs of ancient Martian life.

  • Electra-Lite Mars Proximity Link Communications and Navigation Payload Description 04/06/2006
    Electra-Lite Mars Proximity Link Communications and Navigation Payload Description 04/06/2006 Electra Development Overview The Mars Exploration Program (MEP) has identified the need for establishing a robust Mars infrastructure to provide mission-enabling and enhancing telecommunications and navigation services to future MEP elements. To this end, the Program has funded development of a standardized proximity link communications and navigation payload, known as the Electra UHF Transceiver (EUT), for flight on each strategic orbiter, starting with the 2005 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Electra will serve as the heart of a constellation of Mars network nodes efficiently relaying high rate in-situ mission science and engineering data, providing accurate navigation data and a precision timing reference for synchronizing spacecraft and in-situ assets that otherwise could not be achieved. Electra will be carried as a MEP-provided payload on future Mars science orbiters, starting with the 2005 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), providing a low-cost approach towards developing a Mars orbital communications infrastructure. After completion of their primary science mission, these spacecraft will continue to operate in Mars orbit utilizing the capabilities of the Electra payload to provide proximity link services to other elements of the Mars Program Electra- compatible transceivers (frequency band, protocols, encoding schemes etc.) will be installed on future Mars surface assets including landers, rovers etc. to provide an in-situ data link with Mars orbiters. The overall concept illustrating the Electra Payload operation is shown in Figure 1. EARTH DSN 34M DSN 70M ELECTRA PAYLOAD ON-BOARD SCIENCE ORBITER PROBE ROVER MARS SCOUT Figure 1: Electra Payload Operation Concept Since the mass, volume and DC power specifications for the standard Electra EUT may be inappropriate for a Mars lander with stringent mass and energy constraints, a smaller lander UHF 1 radio is desired.

  • Fundamentals of Spectroscopy for Optical Remote Sensing
    Spectroscopy Course in Fall 2009 ASEN 5519 Fundamentals of Spectroscopy for Optical Remote Sensing Xinzhao Chu University of Colorado at Boulder 1 Concept of Remote Sensing Remote Sensing is the science and technology of obtaining information about an object without having the sensor in direct physical contact with the object. -- opposite to in-situ methods Radiation interacting with an object to acquire its information remotely Active SODAR: Sound Detection And Ranging Remote RADAR: Radiowave Detection And Ranging Sensing LIDAR: Light Detection And Ranging DRI, Nevada Arecibo 2 Light Detection And Ranging LIDAR is a very promising remote sensing tool due to its high resolution and accuracy. In combination of modern laser spectroscopy methods, LIDAR can detect variety of species and key parameters, with wide applications.

Hulburt [1937] pioneered the searchlight technique. Elterman [1951, 1954, 1966] pushed the searchlight lidar to a high level and made practical devices. The first laser - a ruby laser was invented in 1960 by Schawlow and Townes [1958] (fundamental work) and Maiman [1960] (construction). The first giant-pulse technique (Q-Switch) was invented by McClung and Hellwarth [1962]. The first laser studies of the atmosphere were undertaken by Fiocco and Smullin [1963] for upper region and by Ligda [1963] for troposphere.

  • Preliminary Surface Thermal Design of the Mars 2020 Rover
    45th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2015-134 12-16 July 2015, Bellevue, Washington Preliminary Surface Thermal Design of the Mars 2020 Rover Keith S. Novak1, Jason G. Kempenaar2, Matthew Redmond3and Pradeep Bhandari4. Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 9110 The Mars 2020 rover, scheduled for launch in July 2020, is currently being designed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The Mars 2020 rover design is derived from the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, Curiosity, which has been exploring the surface of Mars in Gale Crater for over 2.5 years. The Mars 2020 rover will carry a new science payload made up of 7 instruments. In addition, the Mars 2020 rover is responsible for collecting a sample cache of Mars regolith and rock core samples that could be returned to Earth in a future mission. Accommodation of the new payload and the Sampling Caching System (SCS) has driven significant thermal design changes from the original MSL rover design. This paper describes the similarities and differences between the heritage MSL rover thermal design and the new Mars 2020 thermal design. Modifications to the MSL rover thermal design that were made to accommodate the new payload and SCS are discussed. Conclusions about thermal design flexibility are derived from the Mars 2020 preliminary thermal design experience.
