Using visualizations based on orbital data and imagery, the EventScope Remote Science Operations Tool allows scientists to explore a remote location and control a rover in that location. Scientists create a rover plan by sticking virtual pins in the visualization. This paradigm for exploration is being developed in conjunction with the Life in the Atacama Project at Carnegie Mellon University.
