<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->

BASEPROD contains multimodal rover sensor data for a total traverse length of
around 1.7 km, 3D drone maps of the area, LIBS (laser-induced breakdown
spectroscopy) measurements from sampling sites along the rover traverses, and
weather station data.

Rover data:

- Bumblebee XB3 stereo camera at the mast
- Realsense D435i RGB-D camera
- Optris Pi640 thermal camera
- Xsens MTi-680 IMU with GNSS module and RTK corrections
- six ATI mini45 force and torque sensors in the rover’s legs
- KVH DSP-1760 fiber optic gyroscope

The data was collected in the Bardenas Reales Semi-Desert (Northern Spain) in
July 2023 and was published in Nature’s Scientific Data in 2024. The
[publication][paper] is where you will find all details about the dataset
contents and formats.  The data is hosted on [ESA's robotics datasets
repository][dataset].
The scripts used to prepare the dataset are available on [GitHub][github].
