Mars Technology Program Rover Workshop
Organized by: Richard Volpe, JPL

Sunday, 7 March 2004
IEEE Aerospace Conference
Big Sky, Montana

In mid FY04, the Mars Technology Program convened a rover workshop to review competitively selected Base Technology rover tasks, along with complementary MSL Focused Technology directed tasks. As a change from the usual program meeting venue in Pasadena CA, the IEEE Aerospace conference was selected for a number of reasons. First, it afforded the independent review and publication of papers based on the funded work. Second, it allowed for presentation of the completed research to the wider aerospace community. Third, it enabled the funded researchers to gain greater exposure to other space mission issues not typically available within the robotics community.

Below is a listing of the presentations from the meeting. The following copyright information pertains to all papers provided.
