Microrovers: Current and Past Examples

Microrovers: Current and Past Examples

Microrovers are for Assisting Humans. This lecture briefly focus on microrovers: Coolness; Catalog; Examples and Uses. Microrovers are cool because: Several can be piggybacked on missions; Increase capability, decrease risk for low cost. Power advantage of Microrovers: higher power to mass ratio for smaller rovers. Can use in riskier ways if desired, Mitigate risk by flying multiple.
