Exploring Beyond Earth using Space Robotics: Update

Robotic spacecraft enable exploration of our solar system, beyond our human presence. While spacecraft have explored every planet in the solar system, the frontiers of space robotics are at the cutting edge of landers, rovers, and now atmospheric explorers where robotic spacecraft must interact intimately with their environment to explore beyond the reach of flyby and orbital remote sensing.In 2017, we surveyed space robotics - telling the rich history of robotic explorers to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. In this article, we describe the tremendous growth in space robotics missions in the period 2017-2024 with many new entities participating in missions to the surface of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. We also describe the recent development of aerial missions to planets and moons as exemplified by the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, the Dragonfly mission to Titan, and the planned Sample Recovery Helicopter to Mars. As with the 2017 survey, we seek to provide a big picture of developments and directions in space robotics. Additionally, we focus on sub orbital robotics - landers, rovers, and aerial vehicles, with associated challenges in sensing, manipulation, and mobility.
