Marsokhod Rover Journal

One of the key telepresence components of JASON VI will be the Marsokhod, a remotely operated rover, which will be connected to the EDS Communications Center with fiber optic cable. The teleoperated rover, which has been designed by NASA and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace for potential exploration on the moon and Mars, will be remotely controlled by students from PINS through EDS-managed networks.

Status reports and images of the Marsokhod are available directly from either NASA or McDonnell Douglas (no longer available). In addition, we will post reports and images below.
