 Publication Size | Slide 1. Hyperion Robot. (General Caption for images on this page.) A team of NASA and Carnegie Mellon University scientists will travel to the Atacama Desert in northern Chile April 1 to conduct research that will help them develop and deploy a robot and instruments that may someday enable other robots to find life on Mars. The researchers will be using the Atacama, described as one of the most arid regions on Earth, as a martian analog. NASA Ames Research Center is providing the autonomy technology for the research, which is part of NASA’s Astrobiology Science and Technology for Exploring the Planets (ASTEP) project. |
