I'd like to go exploring with those guys!
Yesterday at #LavaBeds, we tested robot collaboration activities - Here are 3 #BostonDynamics robots, kitted out with the latest and greatest (arm, integrated PTZ & Thermal cameras, #JPL_costar team's NeBula Autonomy software payload). Very exciting! #nasa_braille.
Looks like we share the same passion ❤️ #rocks #planetarymapping
Testing out my tools as I move into more science. Used my robotic arm to get right up close to this rock after zapping it with my laser. Can you tell I’m really into rocks? mars.nasa.gov/mars2020

Getting ready to roll... this shows one of the versions of the locomotion system I will be using to move on the surface once touched the bottom of the lunar crater!! @VIGEA_3D @Uni_WUE @GeoUnipd @jacobs_bremen #INAF @CIRA_Scpa @ESA_CAVES

Amazing! Good luck to you and your flying friend #Ingenuity for many more adventures! #planetarymapping
You wouldn’t believe what I just saw. More images and video to come... #MarsHelicopter go.nasa.gov/ingenuity
Congratulations on this great achievement! #Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter #NASA
The little rotorcraft that could.🚁💨 Ingenuity documented its historic ascent today. Here's the #MarsHelicopter's POV during first flight. That's its shadow on the ground below.

More about the exploration of lunar lava tubes including #RoboCrane's and my mission plans. @ESA_CAVES @ESA_Tech @jacobs_bremen @Uni_WUE @UniPadova @GeoUnipd @VIGEA_3D #INAF @CIRA_Scpa
Would you ever live in a lunar lava tube? Judging by how unhospitable the moon's surface is, it may be the most comfortable option. popsci.com/story/space/lunar…
Look at my Easter basket! It's a floating table with one of the prototypes used to test the data collection with changing attitude. Happy Easter everybody! #science #EasterEgg

Nice article about me and my exploration goals! @ESA_CAVES @ESA_Tech @Uni_WUE @UniPadova @GeoUnipd @jacobs_bremen @VIGEA_3D #INAF @CIRA_Scpa
Real-life BB-8 ‘hamster ball’ robot may one day map moon caves popsci.com/story/science/ham…

As curious about caves as I am? Here is a streaming recommendation for tonight:
Stasera ore 21:00 sui canali social di @chpdbproject si parlerà di #CAVES, di grotte planetarie e dei recenti studi di missione in tubi di lava lunari @ESA_Italia @DaedalusSphere facebook.com/NextSolarStorm youtube.com/channel/UCdUz778…

Here is a simulation of my descent on a real volcanic gridded 3d model. I'm glad I get to observe these rough edges from a distance! @VIGEA_3D @Uni_WUE @jacobs_bremen @GeoUnipd @UniPadova #INAF @CIRA_Scpa #space #planetaryanalogues #volcano #caves

Yes, @ESA_TECH once #RoboCrane brings me safely to the ground, I plan to detach and search a way to become the first robot IN the #Moon . I use the rods to stabilize myself for data collection. @ESA_CAVES @GeoUnipd @UniPadova @Uni_WUE @jacobs_bremen @VIGEA_3D @CIRA_Scpa #INAF

Great work during the @ESA_Tech #SysNova Lunar #Caves CDF study together with #RoboCrane ! But there is more work to be done to make my dream come true!
The Final Presentation of the @ESA_Tech #SysNova Lunar #Caves CDF study took place today w/ @DaedalusSphere & #RoboCrane - great concurrent design looking forward to the final report blogs.esa.int/caves/2021/03/…

Featured as #ESATech image of the week! @Uni_WUE @jacobs_bremen @UniPadova #INAF #Padova @VIGEA_3D @CIRA_Scpa
What looks like a dangling hamster ball is actually a robotic #Moon cave explorer called @DaedalusSphere, under study at #ESTEC's CDF. It would be lowered through a lunar skylight then roll off to laser-map the cave interior, our #ESATech image of the week esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image…
Wondering what I would do at Marius Hills Skylight? Explore it! Check out this iPoster at the #LPSC2021 about the mission concept and my design! lpsc2021.ipostersessions.com… #moon #subsurface #planetarymapping #space #europeanspaceagency

Traveling is a bit difficult at the moment, but you can always dream of your favorite travel location. For me it is the Marius Hills Skylight! Check out this iPoster at #LPSC2021 about hazard characterization: lpsc2021.ipostersessions.com…
