The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Selection of the Mars Science Laboratory Landing Site (2012, background): “Visodom also helps ensure that the vehicle avoids pre-identified obstacles as the distance between them and the vehicle is updated during the drive (Maimone et al. 2007a, 2007b; Cheng et al. 2005, 2006).”
An Overview to Visual Odometry and Visual SLAM: Applications to Mobile Robotics (2015, background): “VO is most famous for its application in the ongoing robotic space mission on Mars [22] that started in 2003 involving two rovers that were sent to explore the geology and surface of the planet.”
Visual Odometry : Part II: Matching, Robustness, Optimization, and Applications (2012, background): “But probably, the most popular application of VO has been on NASA Mars exploration rovers [25], [79].”
Athlete: A cargo handling and manipulation robot for the moon (2007, background): “But successes on MER suggest we can expect good results Cheng, Maimone & Matthies, 2005 .”
