Assuming gyroscopic effect still works on mars? That would be one way to keep a reference ”north”

So presumably it doesn’t get very far away. I would guess radio ranging and camera would allow it to get guidance - similar to how missals could kick into radio station signals to find a city back in the 60s.

I presume a barometric altimeter will work there. But how would they get bearing and distance from the ground vehicle? You could use a Doppler antenna array to get a bearing I suppose. And maybe some kind of DME for distance. Like to see a write up on that. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
