Abstract

An important option in Moon/Mars human exploration architectures considered in NASA’s Project Constellaton is the use of pressurized rovers for conducting long-range (tens of km), multiple-day excursions or traverses. Since 1997, practical operational experience with planning and implementing Moon/Mars-relevant science-driven long-range vehicular traverses across unprepared rocky terrain has been accumulated at the Haughton-Mars Project (HMP) site on Devon Island, High Arctic.
