Astrobotic and its partners at Carnegie Mellon University presented their technical developments several times this week at the NASA exploration workshop in Galveston and at Johnson Space Center in Houston, showing advancements in operating throughout the lunar day, surviving hibernation during the long lunar night, and unstoppable mobility solutions. Dr. Red Whittaker, Astrobotic's chairman and founder of the Field Robotics Center at CMU, led the delegation, which included President David Gump and Chief Engineer John Thornton. The sessions included briefings to NASA's Robotic Precursors program and its Enabling Technology Development & Demonstration program.
