'''ATHLETE''' (All-Terrain Hex-Legged Extra-Terrestrial Explorer) is a [[robot]] under development by the [[Jet Propulsion Laboratory]]. While currently intended for lunar activities, ATHLETE could be adapted for martian use.

===Projected Capabilities===

* Greater than 4 m in diameter with more than 6 m reach
* Able to dock or mate with special-purpose devices, including a launchable/releasable grappling hook, refueling stations, [[excavation]] implements, and/or special end effectors
* 6-DOF legs for generalized robotic manipulation
* Large payload capacity of 450 kg per vehicle, with much more for multiple ATHLETE vehicles docked together
* Able to move at 10 km/h over Apollo-like terrain (>100 times faster than Mars Exploration Rover (MER))
* Climb vertical steps of at least 70% of the maximum stowed dimension of the vehicle (>2x MER)
* Climb slopes of 35° on rock and 25° on soft sand
* Load, transport, manipulate, and deposit mock payloads in a useful fashion
* Be stowed and docked compactly for launch into an annular ring so that many vehicles can be efficiently stacked around a main payload on a single lander<ref>http://www-robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/systems/system.cfm?System=11</ref>
