Rocky 7 - Mojave Desert Field Experiments

Close-Up Image Sample


Rocky 7 can place the "can" on its mast against target objects to make scientific measurements. For the December 96 tests, the "can" contained a close-up imager. A point is designated on the target rock using WITS and the rover positions the "can" accordingly. Three sensors on the close-up imager indicate to the rover when it has made contact with the surface.
