Connecting Craters to Impactors
Impact crater records across the solar system can provide powerful insights into the populations of objects bombarding these surfaces.
Read MoreThe Open Telerobotics Rover
How might NASA’s interplanetary telerobotics expertise be used to improve accessibility in geophysical field exploration on Earth? To learn, the Open Telerobotics Rover will join Project ESPRESSO field deployments while being remotely piloted by operators all over the world.
Read MoreAirborne Space Environment Chambers
Ultra-lightweight vacuum chambers designed to be flown on reduced-gravity aircraft and suborbital rockets, ASEC systems enable researchers to conduct experiments and hardware tests in both lunar-like and asteroid-like gravity and pressure environments.
Read MoreMagnetic Grapples for Asteroid Exploration
The regolith covering most asteroids has high magnetic susceptibility, and thus it can be physically manipulated with a magnetic field. In the low-g surface environment, magnetic grapples could anchor landers, mobilize robots, or enable highly efficient sample collection.
