Evaluation of a Surface Exploration Traverse Analysis and Navigation Tool

Evaluation of a Surface Exploration Traverse Analysis and Navigation Tool

SEXTANT is an extravehicular activity (EVA) mission planner tool developed in MATLAB, which computes the most efficient path between waypoints across a planetary surface. The traverse efficiency can be optimized around path distance, time, or explorer energy consumption. The user can select waypoint...
