SAFER – Sample Field Acquisition with a rover
Objectives:
Demonstrate the use of a remotely commanded rover platform with three ExoMars instruments breadboards, during field trials, including:
- Deployment and operations of ExoMars ”instrument suite” on a field trial
- Remote operations
- Investigation of a rover sample acquisition
- Assessment of the effectiveness of outcrop search instrumentation using the ExoMars reference mission scenario
- Elaboration and refining of the strategy and procedures to implement search and acquisition
SAFER will provide the rover operators and the science team with first-hand experience of:
- Remotely operating a representative mobile platform
- Acquiring field data from all 3 instruments, during field trials
