4 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Scope of the Document This document describes the preliminary system requirements for the Regional Mars Rover for scouting and sample collection Part1: mars rover chassis contract. 2 REQUIREMENTS The requirements for RCET are given hereafter and shall be reviewed and completed by the Contractor to insure the completion of the goals defined in the chapter 1.3 of the Regional Mars Rover for scouting and sample collection Part1: mars rover chassis statement of work. These requirements are defined for planetary mini wheeled rovers in general. In some cases, it may happen that they are too general and restrictions may be needed. Then, the ExoMars mission [RD10] should be taken as a typical reference case. Requirements numbering: R: requirement M: Mandatory (use of shall ) G: Goal (use of should ) These requirement are important wishes which may be ignored if it is conflicting with mandatory requirements and would increase complexity, risk or cost to an extend which is considered unreasonable. 2.1 Overall requirements RM.1010 The RCET shall allow prediction of the locomotion performances of planetary wheeled mini-rovers. RM.1020 The RCET shall be a standalone system The tools shall be sufficient themselves to fully predict the performances of rover without external additional tools.

The Contractor is then strongly advised to use an existing simulator fitting the requirements of this activity. The following requirements are complementary to the overall requirements. RM.7010 The 3D tool shall allow the simulation of a planetary rover on a representative 3D environment to complement the parametric tool. RM.7020 The 3D tool shall predict the locomotion performances of a complete rover design. It shall especially handle the obstacle crossing abilities, steering abilities and wheels interactions.

It is not intended to build a martian-like testbed like in the ESTEC robotic laboratory. For example, an inclinable plan should fit some needs of testing the full prototype rover, since locomotion performances are not linked to long duration locomotion.
