RELEASE: 07_41AR
MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – NASA Ames Research Center will show a live
videoconference from a crater in the Canadian Arctic on Friday, July
20, 2007, featuring a panel of NASA researchers conducting
experiments there.
The robots, "K10 Black" and "K10 Red," carry 3-D laser scanners and
ground-penetrating radar. The robots began operating in Haughton
Crater, Devon Island, Canada, this month and will continue working
until July 31. Another of many experiments includes a
stranded-astronaut lunar simulation test to examine the physiological
effects if someone has to hike back to a lunar base following an
equipment breakdown.
WHERE: The NASA Exploration Center, located near the NASA Ames main
gate at Moffett Field. To reach Ames, take U.S. Highway 101 to the
Moffett Field, NASA Parkway exit and drive east on Moffett Blvd.
towards the main gate and bear right into the parking lot. The
Exploration Center is located in the large white dome.
