Highlights Presents historical summary of rover missions. Reviews often ad-hoc definition of distance requirements for planetary rovers. Contrasts with idealized flowdown of requirements from science drivers. Reviews as-flown performance and limiting factors on rover missions.

    Abstract The origination of duration and distance requirements on planetary mobility systems (generally, rovers) are reviewed in detail. It is found that a ‘clean’ flow down from scientific objectives to requirement to capability is rarely presented. Rather, the historical record shows that the capability of emerging designs has been adopted post-hoc as a requirement, simple comparative superiority to predecessor missions has been invoked in competitive situations, or the requirement has been driven by capability of other elements of a mission architecture, such as delivery precision or astronaut life support. These deviations from the idealized systems engineering process have nonetheless resulted in missions that have generally been considered highly successful.
