Event Name:  LUCID trials in a Lunar Analog territory
Event Description:  From 2 to 16 October, in Minas de San José in the National Park of Teide on the Canary Island of Tenerife, the technology multinational GMV is carrying out the final phase of rover trials under the GMV-led European Space Agency (ESA) project LUCID (LUnar scenario Concept valIdation and Demonstration). LUCID aims to evaluate the combination of necessary localization and situational awareness techniques and tools for operating a Lunar Prospector Rover efficiently and safely within the environmental constraints of the lunar polar region. GMV has integrated system equipment and developed the rover’s software. The National Park of Teide has been chosen as the testing site because it is the best match in terms of reproducing the lie of the land to be found by the rover on certain regions of the Moon or Mars. Definitive sensor tests are being conducted at sunset, while also vetting navigation techniques to provide the rover operating team with the best possible information. Other capabilities under test and validation are locomotion, illumination and capture of rover images, a fundamental factor in Moon exploration missions.

Report on the Results:  These conclusions will then stand ESA in good stead in its space race. The bases have also been laid down for researchers’ and scientists’ follow-up projects over the coming years.
