Abstract: The typical experiments of planet rovers like Apollo and MER are reviewed; and the objective of the field test, the setting of the field test conditions, the technical considerations in the choice of the field are analyzed. The field test is known to be very important for the verification of the rover working process and the remote control process, in checking the moving and navigation capability of the rover, verifying earth subsystem and training the remote control personnel. The test methods, the mission planing experiment, the experiment of finding the dormancy site, the short distance moving and detecting experiment and the mission process drilling experiment are specially addressed.
