Earth-Moon Communication from a Moving Lunar Rover
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 42nd International Instrumentation Symposium, pp. 613 - 622, May, 1996
Abstract
Carnegie Mellon University has proposed an educational- and entertainment-based robotic lunar mission which will last two years and cover 1000km on the moon and revisit several historic sites. With the transmission of live panoramic video, participants will be provided the opportunity for interactively exploring the moon through teleoperation and telepresence. The requirement of panoramic video and telepresence demands high data rates on the order of 7.5 Mbps. This is challenging since the power available for communication is approximately 100W and occupied bandwidth is limited to less than 10 MHz. The tough environment on the moon introduces additional challenges of survivability and reliability.
