Autonomous Systems Laboratory
Autonomous operations are critical for the success, safety, sustainability, and crew survival of NASA deep space missions beyond low-Earth orbit. The NASA Stennis ASL team is developing the expertise, tools and processes to create robust, affordable autonomous systems to provide capabilities that can be used on ground systems and those needed to enable sustainable exploration of the Moon and beyond.
ASL Team Promotes Leadership in Technology Development
NASA aims to set up a crewed outpost near the Moon's south pole, calling it "our first foothold on the lunar frontier." The ingredients for that encampment, known as Artemis Base Camp, are an unpressurized rover to transport suited astronauts around the site; a pressurized rover to enable long-duration treks away from the outpost; and the surface habitat itself, which will be capable of housing four humans at a time.
