Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 08, 2010 A catalogue of places on Earth where one can find Mars-like conditions might include Antarctica's Dry Valleys, Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic, the hyper-acidic Rio Tinto in Spain, and Chile's bone-dry Atacama Desert. But it probably wouldn't include Brooklyn. And yet it's in Brooklyn where, in an otherwise unexceptional warehouse, Honeybee Robotics ... more

Designing The Next Rover To Explore Mars
Raleigh NC (SPX) Jun 03, 2010
The concept of a wind-powered vehicle that can be used to explore the surface of Mars - a so-called "tumbleweed rover" that would roll over the surface of Mars like a tumbleweed - has been around for more than 10 years, but so far there has been no consensus on exactly what that vehicle should look like. Now researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a computer model that allows engineers to test the attributes of different vehicle designs. This will allow researchers to selec ... read more
