AAR Design Project Statement• Perform a detailed design of a small astronaut
assistance rover, emphasizing mobility systems– Chassis systems (e.g., wheels, steering, suspension…)– Support systems (e.g., energy storage)– Navigation and guidance system (e.g., sensors,
algorithms...)
• Design for Moon, then assess feasibility of systems for Mars, and conversion to Earth analogue rover
• This is not a hardware project - focus is on detailed design (but may be built later!)

Objectives for Design Project (1)• UMd SSL is proposing to do month-long
simulations of lunar/Mars science exploration missions to examine impact of robotics
• Primary missions would be held at HI-SEAS in Hawaii
• Rover design should facilitate shipping to/from Hawaii– Minimal size and mass– Modular construction for packing (ideally each less than
50 lbs with packaging)

First Steps in Rover Design• Assume a vehicle gross weight• Examine rolling resistance for design parameters
– Number of wheels– Diameter of wheels– Width of wheels
• Calculate torque transfer to ground– Required torque for climbing maximum slope– Design of grousers for required torque
• Next step: chassis design
