The use of wenner configuration to monitor soil water content... The WMC is traditionally used by electrical engineers for earth testing but was adapted for use as a soil water monitor in this study....
L characteristic length, m... The inadequacy of Earth testing is particularly acute if aerodynamic induced oscillations must be nullified by the landing control system- as is the case for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover (MER)...
Slip validation and prediction for mars... This method produced accurate simulation of the rover movements compared with these of the earth testing vehicle....
Calibration of accelerometers for the measurement of microvibrations...accelerometers used for the measurement of microvibrations or microgravity applications, such as active control of space structures, attitude control, scientific payloads, or even on-Earth testing of structures at very low-excitation levels, require a dedicated calibration procedure that includes the gravitational effects....
