A team of rovers will soon be working together to explore the Moon – autonomously! NASA’s CADRE (Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration) technology demonstration is sending three small rovers – each about the size of a carry-on suitcase – as an experiment to map and explore the lunar surface. The tech demo marks NASA’s first fully autonomous space mission involving multiple rovers working together. Join us as we discuss the amazing potential of CADRE with project manager, Subha Comandur, and principal investigator, Dr. Jean-Pierre de la Croix.
