New Research Project Funded by the European Commission
The Lab has just received funding for "PRoViDE2 / Planetary Robotics Vision Data Exploitation (ESA ExoMars Mission)" as part of the European Commission's FP7-SPACE Project PRoViDE program. This is a 2.5 year project.

Congratulations to Steven Ostrowski
Congratulations to Steven Ostrowski, who has completed his undergraduate BSc degree. Steven will be working in the Lab as a research assistant over the summer and then begin his master's studies in the Fall semester.

Congratulations to Weishu Gong
Congratulations to Weishu Gong, who successfully defended her M.S. thesis entitled "Potential of MSL Rover Localization Compared with MER" on March 29.

Congratulations to Steven Ostrowski
Steven was awarded Second Prize at the Undergraduate Research Forum for Engineering and Architecture held March 21, 2013. This forum is intended for every student in any engineering or architecture discipline that participates in research. This was the first year that individual prizes were awarded by theTau Beta Pi fraternity. His presentation was entitled "NASA 2003 Mission Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit & Opportunity".

 

Latest Mars Traverse Maps
The latest traverse maps for the Mars rovers: Spirit (as of Sol 3324) and Opportunity (as of Sol 3304). Spirit rover became stuck in the sand on Sol 1894 (May 2009). In January (2010) NASA turned the Spirit rover into a stationary science platform. Full size maps can be viewed by clicking on the appropriate image below.
