So what is our project? We’re a group of scientists and engineers from the United States and Canada working together to build a robotic rover capable of hunting for water, mining and excavating dirt, processing the dirt in a chemical plant and analyzing what it’s made of. If it contains water, the chemistry plant can separate it and measure it.
Within the US, we have team members from Florida, Texas, California and the Washington DC area.
This is inside our tent in the valley where we set up a mini-control room for early checkout.

That’s really cool
