Choosing Mars-Time: Analysis of the Mars Exploration Rover Experience
ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission decision to work on Mars Time and the implications
of that decision on the tactical surface operations process as personnel planned activities and created a new command load
for work on each Martian sol. The paper also looks at tools that supported the complexities of Mars Time work, and makes
some comparisons between Earth and Mars time scheduling.
