2. 2 Assumptions Starting point is what is available today for Mars missions (eg ExoMars/SFR) Will factor in what is being planned for future missions Minimising Mass is critical! In proposal specifically excluded power for locomotion but…

3. 3 Orbital Data Sat map resolution : 1m Elevation model: HIRSE - TBD

4. 4 Processing 100 – 400 MIPS (LEON3, Quad-core) Memory – 18MB approx Mass Memory – GB’s Could use FPGA’s for hardware implementation of algorithms 32-bit Need to minimise processing requirements and characterise what we can achieve

5. 5 Power Profiles 1.5-3 hours ops time 250 Wh for 60kg class rover with solar array and battery MER (Opp) Solar + Battery. variable from 128Wh (low-point) to 800Wh early in mission and after 2007 cleaning events, ~280Wh in between Need to minimise power consumption and characterise what we can achieve We have excluded Power for locomotion

6. 6 Terrain Obstacle and terrain limits ~30cm rocks, danger of slip and sinkage, < 40% slope
