火星犹他州漫游者实地调查“MURFI 2016”是一个火星漫游者实地模拟使命，由英国航天局（UKSA）与加拿大航天局（CSA）合作运行。MURFI 2016于2016年10月22日至11月13日举行，由一个现场团队和一个“运营团队”组成，该团队包括位于汉克斯维尔（美国犹他州）附近的现场的一个仪器化漫游者平台，以及位于英国牛津附近的Harwell Campus的使命控制中心（MOC）的一个“运营团队”。现场地点是根据与CSA的合作及其类似火星的当地地质情况选择的。2015年，CSA将其用于火星探测器试验，2016年，几个团队使用了该场地，每个团队都有自己指定的工作区。
MURFI 2016的两个主要目标是（i）在UKSA内开展实地试验的后勤和领导经验，以及（ii）为火星科学界的成员提供火星车运营经验，从而建立可用于2020年ExoMars火星车使命或其他未来火星车任务的专业知识。由于MURFI 2016是第一个完全由英国宇航局领导的Rover模拟试验，因此最重要的目标是学习如何最好地实施Rover试验。这包括规划、后勤、实地安全、主运行中心的建立和支持、通信、人员管理和科学团队发展等方面。有些方面是根据以往试验的经验，但重点是“从经验中学习”----特别是在行动小组方面，他们每个人在使命期间都承担了各种角色。
The Mars Utah Rover Field Investigation “MURFI 2016” is a Mars Rover field analogue mission run by the UK Space Agency (UKSA) in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). MURFI 2016 took place between 22nd October and 13th November 2016 and consisted of a field team including an instrumented Rover platform, at the field site near Hanksville (Utah, USA), and an ‘Operations Team’ based in the Mission Control Centre (MOC) at the Harwell Campus near Oxford in the UK. The field site was chosen based on the collaboration with the CSA and its Mars-like local geology. It was used by the CSA in 2015 for Mars Rover trials, and in 2016, several teams used the site, each with their own designated working areas.
The two main aims of MURFI 2016 were (i) to develop logistical and leadership experience in running field trials within the UKSA, and (ii) to provide members of the Mars Science community with Rover Operations experience, and hence to build expertise that could be used in the 2020 ExoMars Rover mission, or other future Rover missions. Because MURFI 2016 was the first solely UKSA-led Rover analogue trial, the most important objective was to learn how to best implement Rover trials in general. This included aspects of planning, logistics, field safety, MOC setup and support, communications, person management and science team development. Some aspects were based on past experience from previous trials but the focus was on ‘learning through experience’ - especially in terms of the Operations Team, who each took on a variety of roles during the mission.
