this it the beginning on an open concept design for a Martian transportation vehicle to perform geophysical investigations over temperate area of Mars

The starting point of the design is a simulation under development, showing the vehicles movement, as defined by user input way points

attached software is being developed by GVE to investigate means of navigating a slope on Mars. Its limits on motion reflect the concept design stage of our vehicle.

To acquire the 3 zipped files needed: executable software, and the 2 associated data files, click here

to apply your own way points, edit the data file, TRAJ1R.TXT

the trajectory file data is taken from the first line only, and is the time, X and Z (seconds, meters)

needs to start from zero, so first point should be 0.0 0.0 0.0.

there is a 3rd file, which allows you to set your personal view point.

to modify the view angle, edit file VIEW.IN

to run the software, first type 'p' for Plan, then type 's' for simulate and then 'r' for run
