Semi-AutonomousRobotAssistanceforPlanetaryExploration(SAMPLE)addressesthis issue.16 +Harvesting energy locally on Mars during manned Mars missions will be very important for supporting the power systems of the future Mars habitats. Delivering energy resources from Earth to Mars will be too expensive, meaning that usage of any energy sourceavailable in the Mars environment will be very useful. In addition to solar energy, wind energy could also be considered as a potential source of energy.Martian surface winds, with a wind velocitythat would correspond to about 3m/s on Earth, are not a particularly powerful mean for harvesting energyon Mars, but they could still serve as an auxiliary source. 23 23 24 - Basedon theMERCATORexperiment inAMADEE-20,SAMPLEaimsto extend the aera of use andautonomyofrovers.SAMPLEinvestigates robotcapabilities such asphotogrammetry,in-situinstrumentplacing,andsamplecollection combinedwith improvedsemi-autonomousrobotcontrolandthegrationintotheexplorationcascadeforsupportinggeologicalhypotheses.18 +AVAWTtherefore wants to measure the power generation and wind velocityat the test site with a Savonius VAWT style wind turbine during the mission.These turbines are lightweight, have a simple construction and can be easily deployed and mounted on a nearby small hill or even at the top of the habitable module.To increase efficiency, a new structural improvement of the turbines is also being tested: rectangular openings are made in both blades and covered with flexible patches. These patches bend with thewind and allow the air to flow through the openingson the side where the wind blows on the blade’s convex surface. This will reduce the dynamic pressure on the convex side of the turbine, thus increasing the difference between the dynamic pressures on the turbine’s two sides and generating greater rotational momentum.With this improvement the maximum torque of the wind turbine could increase up to 60%. 25 25 26 - The expected outcome of the SAMPLE project is to provide data products like 3D maps, images, or special measurements shortly after the exploration task of a robot. Moreover, SAMPLE aims to providesophisticated visualizationandtools for better integrationof the scientific capabilities of the rover into the daily exploration routineof theremotescience supportand the analog astronauts.20 +**Independent Experiment:** 27 27 28 -To meet the experiment objectives, in-situ measurements and data collection will be improved by implementing a robotic arm. The level of autonomy can be adjusted by the analog astronaut. Implementing machine learning algorithms allows for improving the long-range navigation skills of the rover. To provide detailed insights on remote locations of interest to the analog astronauts and the remote science team, SAMPLE applies methods from photogrammetry and mapping. 22 +* No allocation of GOST/CRW resources or inclusion in mission plan 23 +* Under supervision of GOST CDR 24 +* Eligible for site access 29 29 30 30 31 31 28 + 29 + 32 32 === Experiment Data === 33 33 34 34 (% style="height:10px; width:1000px" %)
