“…The objective was to define the state-of-the-art facilities required to receive, contain, and curate extra-terrestrial samples whilst attempting to meet terrestrial planetary protection requirements. A review of previous studies was carried out (including studies such as [8][9][10]). All the aspects of building design, ranging from sample reception to their storage/curation were covered.…”

EURO-CARES (European Curation of Astromaterials Returned from the Exploration of Space) was a three-year multinational project (2015-2017) funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 research programme. The objective of EURO-CARES was to create a roadmap for the implementation of a European Extra-terrestrial Sample Curation Facility (ESCF). This facility was intended to be suitable for the curation of samples from return missions from the Moon, asteroids, Mars, and other bodies of the Solar System.

This paper presents an active motion planning approach for a robotic manipulator operating in planetary surface exploration missions. A monocular camera is employed to examine the visually salient regions in an image, from which landforms of potential interests are extracted, and two key metrics are established to evaluate the information richness of the landforms. A next-best view manipulator motion planning is proposed, in which motions of the manipulator are actively planned to reach a better viewpoint to view the target landform, the safety of such operation is guaranteed by real-time estimating the relative distance using ORriented Brief (ORB)–simultaneous localization and mapping. The proposed active motion planning method is validated by an experimental trial, results from which demonstrate that it is able to safely acquire a better viewing of a just-detected planetary landform with full autonomy.

A lunar roving vehicle is of great significance in the processing of manned lunar exploration for long-duration space exploration missions. The mechanical model of the lunar roving vehicle’s wheel directly affects the mobility performance. However, the wheel of lunar roving vehicle is a special one with the metal mesh surface, and the soil can penetrate through its surface. In this paper, the mechanical model of a rigid normal wheel is deduced, and four stress correction coefficients are introduced to obtain the mechanical model of the lunar roving vehicle’s wheel. These four stress correction coefficients are identified in several groups of experiment of the lunar roving vehicle’s wheel, and using the functional coefficients can have a high precision for the mechanical model of the lunar roving vehicle’s wheel.
