The selection of the Discovery Program InSight landing site took over four years from initial
identification of possible areas that met engineering constraints, to downselection via …

The selection of Gale crater as the Mars Science Laboratory landing site took over five
years, involved broad participation of the science community via five open workshops, and …

We have generated sub-millimetre-resolution DEMs of weathered rock surfaces using SfM
photogrammetry techniques. We apply a close-range method based on structure-from …

Small deposits of chloride salts have been documented at hundreds of locations on Mars
through the use of multispectral orbital data. Given the small spatial extent of these deposits …

Aeolis Dorsa, a large sedimentary basin on Mars, contains an array of fluvially dominated
sedimentary deposits. These deposits preserve a record of fluvial erosion and deposition …

High-resolution (submeter) orbital imagers have opened up new possibilities for Mars
topographic map** with unprecedented precision. While the typical sensor model for …

For readers from both academia and industry wishing to pursue their studies and/or careers
in planetary robotics, this book represents a one-stop tour of the history, evolution, key …

The Ares Vallis region is surrounded by highland terrain containing both degraded and
pristine large impact craters that suggest a change in climate during the Late Noachian …

Abstract Digital Terrain Model (DTM) creation is essential to improving our understanding of
the formation processes of the Martian surface. Although there have been previous …
