Zusammenfassung

As opposed to the present extra-terrestrial exploration missions, future mission concepts ask for fast and safe long range traversal through varied expanses of terrain. The main objective of the FASTER EU FP7 project1 is to improvethe mission safety and the effective traverse speed for planetary rover exploration by determining the traversability of the terrain and lowering the risk to enter hazardous areas. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to introduce a small scout rover accompanying the primary exploration rover. While both, the primary rover and the scout rover are equipped with their own sensor systems, the scout rover will be used to scout the terrain ahead of the primary rover to allow fast and safe traversal [2, 3].
