Dehesa de Navalvillar to the north of Madrid in Colmenar Viejo is the site chosen by GMV for the field tests of the prototype rover developed under the European Space Agency (ESA)’s GOTCHA project
The tests, being performed during April and May, focus on testing and vetting key Mars-exploration technologies that work in a totally autonomous and independent way
Results to date have been successfully presented in the ESA’s 2nd International Mars Sample Return Conference
