The 2016 Mars Utah Rover Field Investigation (MURFI) was a Mars rover field trial
run by the UK Space Agency in association with the Canadian Space Agency's 2015/2016
Mars Sample Return Analogue Deployment mission. MURFI had over 50 participants from
15 different institutions around the UK and abroad. The objectives of MURFI were to
develop experience and leadership within the UK in running future rover field trials;
to prepare the UK planetary community for involvement in the European Space Agency/Roscosmos
ExoMars 2020 rover mission; and to assess how ExoMars operations may differ from previous
rover missions. Hence, the wider MURFI trial included a ten-day (or ten-‘sol’) ExoMars
rover-like simulation. This comprised an operations team and control centre in the
UK, and a rover platform in Utah, equipped with instruments to emulate the ExoMars
rovers remote sensing and analytical suite. The operations team operated in ‘blind
mode’, where the only available data came from the rover instruments, and daily tactical
planning was performed under strict time constraints to simulate real communications
windows. The designated science goal of the MURFI ExoMars rover-like simulation was
to locate in-situ bedrock, at a site suitable for sub-surface core-sampling, in order
to detect signs of ancient life. Prior to “landing”, the only information available
to the operations team were Mars-equivalent satellite remote sensing data, which were
used for both geologic and hazard (e.g., slopes, loose soil) characterisation of the
area. During each sol of the mission, the operations team sent driving instructions
and imaging/analysis targeting commands, which were then enacted by the field team
and rover-controllers in Utah. During the ten-sol mission, the rover drove over 100 m
and obtained hundreds of images and supporting observations, allowing the operations
team to build up geologic hypotheses for the local area and select possible drilling
locations. On sol 9, the team obtained a subsurface core sample that was then analyzed
by the Raman spectrometer. Following the conclusion of the ExoMars-like component
of MURFI, the operations and field team came together to evaluate the successes and
failures of the mission, and discuss lessons learnt for ExoMars rover and future field
trials. Key outcomes relevant to ExoMars rover included a key recognition of the importance
of field trials for (i) understanding how to operate the ExoMars rover instruments
as a suite, (ii) building an operations planning team that can work well together
under strict time-limited pressure, (iii) developing new processes and workflows relevant
to the ExoMars rover, (iv) understanding the limits and benefits of satellite mapping
and (v) practicing efficient geological interpretation of outcrops and landscapes
from rover-based data, by comparing the outcomes of the simulated mission with post-trial,
in-situ field observations. In addition, MURFI was perceived by all who participated
as a vital learning experience, especially for early and mid-career members of the
team, and also demonstrated the UK capability of implementing a large rover field
trial. The lessons learnt from MURFI are therefore relevant both to ExoMars rover,
and to future rover field trials. |
