This paper presents initial experimental outcomes of research aimed at building an autonomous navigation system for a working scale model, Russian built, Marskohod Martian Rover capable of negotiating very rough terrain, including climbing over obstacles of up to the height of its own wheel diameter (25 cm). Whilst the final goal is to build a system capable of navigating the vehicle through initially unknown, very rough terrain, mainly by means of natural landmarks, the stage of research reported here concerns navigating only in known rough terrain.
