Virtual Session 5: October 28, 2020
Science Enabled by Mobility

Major questions to be addressed:

• Mobility: Drive it like you stole it.

  • What scientific investigations are uniquely enabled by mobility? Crewed or uncrewed?

  • What scientific investigations are enhanced by mobility? Crewed or uncrewed?

  • What are the necessary capabilities of the mobile platform (range, survive the night, communications, sampling, remote operations, etc.)?
