    abstract

    The NASA Planetary Rover Project was initiated in 1989. The emphasis of the work to date has been on development of unmanned science rover technology within the context of high mobility wheeled vehicles at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and an innovative legged locomotion concept at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). In addition, JPL has been investigating the mission operations aspects of unmanned science rovers. This paper discusses the 1991 accomplishments in these areas.
