This paper presents a comprehensive study of ultra-wideband (UWB) and multi-band
orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) technologies for lunar rover …

There has been an increase in interest in missions that drive significantly longer distances
per day than what has currently been performed. For example, Endurance-A proposes …

Crater identification aims to match the craters of a planetary body observed in an image to
the corresponding entries in a catalogue of known craters of the same body. It is a key step …

Impact crater detection is one of the most important and critical studies of the geological
history of planetary surfaces. Recent literature on crater identification demonstrates the …

Efficient visual localization of lunar rovers is essential for long-range autonomous
exploration missions and the construction of the International Lunar Research Station. Given …

As humanity returns to the Moon, and more and more attention is being paid to lunar surface
operations, there is a greater need than ever for methods of surface navigation. These could …

The Artemis program advances towards operations on the lunar surface, where precise
surface localization is a driving need for safety and science. Using the observable horizon …

Dead reckoning is a common navigation method in extraterrestrial rover missions. However,
its effectiveness is often limited by the accumulated error from odometry, which can be …

The Perseverance Mars rover needs to drive long distances between regions of scientific
interest to collect a diverse set of samples. Position knowledge is needed for navigating to …

The next-generation space robotic missions will require autonomous probes capable to
carry out complex navigation tasks with limited human input. Innovative data-fusion …
