The objective of this work is to present the first analytical and experimental results obtained
with a 3D heat flux sensor for planetary regolith. The proposed structure, a sphere divided in …

The objective of this paper is to apply a closed-loop control based on dielectric excitation to
MOX gas sensors in order to improve their response time. The control implements a …

This paper analyzes the behavior of a miniature 3D wind sensor designed for Mars
atmosphere. The sensor is a spherical structure of 10 mm diameter divided in four sectors …

The objective of this paper is to obtain time-varying models of the thermal dynamics of a 3D
hot thin film anemometer for Mars atmosphere. To this effect, a proof of concept prototype of …

The objective of this paper is to introduce a modeling strategy to characterize the dynamics
of the charge trapped in the dielectric of MOS capacitors, using diffusive representation …

Sensor performance in terms of time response and sensitivity can be dramatically enhanced
by operating sensors under what may be called a “constant state operation”. This means that …

The objective of this paper is to explore the performance of a miniature 3D spherical wind
sensor for Mars atmosphere,[1-3], working under extreme wind speeds, up to the Dust Devil …

Meteorological stations in planetary exploration are key instruments to analyze atmosphere
dynamics. Wind Sensors have been incorporated to several missions to Mars (Viking, Mars …
