Tender Details

NASA/ Ames Research Center (ARC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for planetary surface mobility and navigation.

High-Rate Mobility Overview:

NASA is investigating robust, high-rate, autonomous surface mobility for future planetary surface missions, including advances in perception sensors and high-performance space computing to enable high-speed autonomy to drive farther faster and with less need for human operator intervention. Taking advantage of new flight-worthy sensors like rover-capable Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors combined with a new generation of high-performance space computing, future systems will go beyond the kinds of navigation algorithms used by current planetary rovers like Perseverance or the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) to adapt cutting edge technologies to the unique challenges of planetary surface mobility of the Moon and Mars.

To date, missions have used slow computers, stereo imaging cameras, approaches that rely heavily on teams of operators, and achieved a mobility pace measured in meters per hour. New technology will enable planetary mobility systems to move faster in a productive manner, cover significantly longer distances, and greatly reduce the need for human operator oversight or control. Systems with these capabilities will enable completely new mission profiles that can achieve significantly greater science objectives at reduced cost.

Requesting Input from Providers of Surface Mobility:

NASA ARC is seeking information about the navigation capabilities of potential mobility system providers. If you have mobility systems or mobility system concepts, please provide us with information about the capabilities your system provides or is intended to provide. We have provided a questionnaire form and an email address for any additional information beyond the questionnaire. There is no need to provide implementation details or any other proprietary or competition-s...
