To improve field methodologies and maximize science return from lunar remote robotic missions, we must define lessons learned from previous rover experience on Mars, and adapt these to the unique goals and environment of the Moon. We propose to contribute to this important issue by conducting field tests of lunar analog sites using rover-inspired field methodologies. We will determine the surface expressions of important lunar analog materials revealed by these methods and outline the general changes in methodology that may be required to address lunar robotic fieldwork. The project proposed here differs fundamentally from previous and current efforts to design and assess semi-autonomous lunar rover methodology in that our approach will be to test the manner in which scientists use hardware in practice to meet science goals, rather than to utilize hardware itself. No rover will be used. Rather, we will mimic a "standard" suite of instruments with commercial instruments in hand, and we will use these at a lunar analog site in the order, priority, and manner developed through MER experience. This investigation will allow us to make well-grounded recommendations for optimizing science return by semi-autonomous rovers conducting lunar reconnaissance activities.
