GOTCHA (2016)

GOAC TRL Increase Convenience Enhancements Hardening and Application Extension (GOTCHA). The project combines classical temporal planning and timeline-based planning for the autonomous control of a space rover, the ESA RAT platform. The aim is to achieve an autonomous framework for planetary-exploration rovers, increasing their Technology Readiness Level (TRL) for use in future space systems such as the upcoming Mars Sample Return mission. Field trials in Colmenar Viejo have shown the developed system fulfills all the requirements. Read more about the project here.
