Engineering Breakdown

SuperCam visual instrument

SuperCam

Super Cam is a component designed to transmit video, navigation data, and precise distance measurements. Equipped with a dedicated Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor, it can measure distances of up to 4 meters with high accuracy, providing reliable data for navigation algorithms. It features three onboard cameras—two for navigation and one for capturing infrared (IR) images. With this suite of instruments, the rover can perceive its surrounding environment even in the IR spectrum.

MEDA climate instrument

MEDA

MEDA is a component designed to provide precise, location-specific environmental data, including temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, air quality, altitude above sea level, and background radiation. Equipped with sensors such as the BME280 and PMS5003, it delivers accurate information about the climate conditions surrounding the rover, enabling the generation of comprehensive analytical reports on factors like background radiation in a given area.

Chassis and Suspension System

Chassis System

The chassis system is a fundamental component of the rover's construction, providing a stable platform for operation in diverse environments. Featuring a rocker-bogie suspension system, it ensures that all wheels maintain constant contact with the ground, while a solid aluminum frame makes the structure highly resistant to mechanical damage. Although the rover operates at a low speed—averaging around 0.2 km/h—it produces high torque to overcome various obstacles.

Unified Integrations

Developed with Industry Standards

Real-time Telemetry

Where Data Becomes Decisions

Process complex, multi-sensor telemetry streams into actionable control decisions in real time. Powered by concurrent data pipelines, low-latency state monitoring, and intuitive 3D visualizations, the system provides full operational observability—enabling hardware state inspection, system metric evaluation, and instant fail-safe triggers.
