A Window in the Future of Planetary Surface NavigationThe presentation focuses on surface navigation and mapping challenges in planetary environments including Lunar and Martian surface. Imagery from precursor orbital missions are processed to provide a medium resolution, large coverage 2D and 3D maps used by the science and navigation teams. During the surface mission these mapping products together with the images captured from the on-board camera systems are used in rover localization and navigation.
