The system integration issues associated with the design of Rovers for Mars ground surface operations are addressed in this paper. Requirements are established for both long distance traverse between geology sites and for geologic survey operations. To satisfy these mission requirements, a semi-autonomous vehicle design has been proposed and its performance capabilities are assessed. Furthermore, the mobility, power consumption, coordination and control (maneuverability), and reliability issues associated with the design of mobility systems to permit vehicle traverse over rugged terrain are examined and the direction of future work required to address these issues is outlined.
