NASA EDGE: Extreme Analogs [RSS]

Black Point Lava Flow, AZ. An extreme frontier. These are the analog voyages of the Desert Research And Technology Studies Team. Its 14 Day mission: to explore strange new rock formations, to seek out new technology, to avoid meddling co-hosts: to boldly go where no LER has gone before. Cue the music. This may be a dramatic introduction, but it gives you an idea of how adventurous the D-RATS team can be when it comes to preparing for the next bold step in exploration. The time line may be uncertain, but whenever the date is set, NASA will be ready to explore the Moon like never before.
