The European Space Agency (ESA), Airbus and their European partners conducted a field test of the six-wheeled Mars rover prototype known as 'Charlie' on Thursday (October 1) in Spain’s Tabernas desert. The rover was operated remotely via satellite link from the Rover Operations Control Centre (ROCC) in Turin, Italy.

00:10My husband is new and new
00:11He can't look up
00:13You're new
00:18We're new
00:19My husband is new
00:23Let me know
00:24He looks good
00:25The line the air is
00:28I don't know, let's get started.
00:30Wait, let's get out of here.
00:32So you need epsilon.
00:35So let's get started.
00:37Did you and everyone?
00:48Yeah.
00:50It was going to be a lot to say.
00:53It was all the time.
01:22The
01:22objective of this field test is to train the
01:25people in the control center in Turin in Italy to operate the rover as if it was on Mars.
01:32So we are simulating in what we call an analog site that looks as close as possible to Mars
01:40for the operator in the control center to operate this rover as if it was on Mars.
01:51The objective is to go to Mars obviously to drive a little bit but the main objective
01:55is to do science so the rover hasn't been optimized to drive fast and efficiently it
02:01has been designed to drive long distances in a safe way to get to where we want to do science.
02:10The
02:13communication between Earth and Mars can be quite long up to 45 minutes so we cannot
02:19joystick it over basically we want the rover to be able to drive from point A to point B
02:22long distances up to 60-70 meters a day in an autonomous way sometimes in places we
02:29cannot see from the starting point.
02:34So
02:45so
