The Jet Propulsion Laboratory Inflatable Rover Program focuses on two types of inflatable vehicles for transport of instrument payloads on distant planets and moons. One, referred to as ''Big Wheels,'' is a lightweight, motor-controlled vehicle with large balloon tires, and the other is a large, wind-blown sphere, referred to as ''Tumbleweed.'' The use of inflatables to increase speed and range is a critical enabling technology that will allow transporting other rovers to distant sites,...

The processing steps performed to create this image were: * A long, narrow high-pass filter is applied in a vertical orientation to help reduce some of the instrument signature.

When NASA's Quick Scatterometer (QuickScat) captured this image on July 13, 2005, Emily was just a few hours away from becoming a hurricane. The tropical storm was approaching Trinidad with winds of 95 kilometers per hour (60 miles per hour or 50 knots) when this image was taken at 5:05 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time (21:05 UTC). The image reveals the structure of the storm, with wind speed shown in color and direction indicated by barbs. The white barbs indicate regions of heavy rain. Both...

Measurements of the wind strength of Hurricane Emily show sustained winds of around 80 knots and gusts up to 100 knots. The images, however, reveal lower wind speeds. This is because the power of the storm makes accurate measurements difficult. The scatterometer sends pulses of microwave energy through the atmosphere to the ocean surface, and measures the energy that bounces back from the wind-roughened surface. The energy of the microwave pulses changes depending on wind speed and direction,...
