The oceans cover more than two-thirds of the planet, representing vastest part natural resources. Nevertheless, only a fraction ocean depths has been explored. Within this context, article presents H2020 ENDURUNS project that describes novel scientific and technological approach for prolonged underwater autonomous operations seabed survey activities, either in deep or coastal areas. proposed combines hybrid Autonomous Underwater Vehicle capable moving using thrusters as sea glider, combined...
Recent advances in robotic design, autonomy and sensor integration create solutions for the exploration of deep-sea environments, transferable to oceans icy moons. Marine platforms do not yet have mission capacity their space counterparts (e.g., state art Mars Perseverance rover mission), although different levels autonomous navigation mapping, as well sampling, are an extant capability. In this setting increasingly biomimicked designs may allow access complex environmental scenarios, with...
One of Saturn's largest moons, Enceladus, possesses a vast extraterrestrial ocean (i.e., exo-ocean) that is increasingly becoming the hotspot future research initiatives dedicated to exploration putative life. Here, new bio-exploration concept design for Enceladus' exo-ocean proposed, focusing on potential presence organisms across wide range sizes from uni- multicellular and animal-like), according state-of-the-art sensor robotic platform technologies used in terrestrial deep-sea research....
The Triple F (Fresh From the Fridge) mission, a Comet Nucleus Sample Return, has been proposed to ESA’s Cosmic Vision program. A sample return from comet enables us reach ultimate goal of cometary research. Since comets are least processed bodies in solar system, proposal goes far beyond science topics (like explanation activity) and delivers invaluable information about formation system interstellar molecular cloud which it formed. mission would extract three cores upper 50 cm locations on...
This paper describes simulation mission scenarios which focus on human-robot collaboration. Further, it explains the technologies developed for project Moonwalk and possible evaluation methods to be able evaluate outcome of two trials in different environments, one reflecting a Lunar other, Martian environment. develops new, practical interaction between astronauts robots. In earth-analogue simulations missions Moon Mars, challenges is operational constraints such as reduced gravity or...
A novel methodology to evaluate uncertainties in lunar elemental abundances is presented. Contrary most terrestrial applications, geographic information system (GIS) data cannot be verified by situ measurements because of the limited number ground control points and their reduced spatial extent. This work reports on investigations uncertainty abundance without use checks but statistical evaluation comparison datasets. We find that using correlations between major elements, charts estimated...
