Abstract
Robotic rovers are expected to play a major role in future lunar in-situ resource prospecting. Prospecting missions will involve a ground control team of planetary scientists and rover operators. These ground controllers will need to evaluate prospecting data gathered by a rover and make operational decisions in real-time. In October 2014, the NASA Ames Research Center conducted a lunar analog robotic prospecting mission in the Mojave Desert to study how to support such operations. This paper describes the roles within the Science Operations Team during this analog mission, as well as preliminary findings regarding the scientists' use of shared displays.
