Planetary exploration with microrovers can be extended beyond the baseline short-range capability proposed for the Mars Environmental Survey (MESUR) microrover mission. The useful range of the microrover can be increased by using local landmarks to accurately reach desired science sites with a minimal number of Earth commands. Furthermore, onboard processing can give indications of excessive sinkage or slippage, which comprise hazards which may not be detectable from imaging, as well as to improve dead reckoning performance. Lastly, it is important to estimate the mean and variance of mission parameters such as time-to-reach-goal, energy-to-reach-goal, and likelihood-of-finding landmark. The author of the paper discusses research focused on accomplishing these objectives.
