The Rover Sequencing and Visualization Program (RSVP) is a tool suite used for building command sequences for the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity. RSVP was previously used for other missions and for in-house research projects and proposal efforts. RSVP has undergone extensive modifications and enhancements over previous versions in order to support more challenging requirements and to make it more adaptable for future missions. This paper will provide a brief overview of many of the specific enhancements made for the MSL mission.
