We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

New electronics tested in extreme conditions

Update #2 · May 4, 2012 · comment

Just returned from Dachstein simulated Mars mission. ABM SE tested the new electronics and software system onboard the Magma White rover. The same system will be employed in M4K at ReMY. Works cool! Remote control from the mission control center was tested successfully. We were able to operate the rover located inside the unhospitable cave environment, about 1 km from us, and many meters below the ground. The user interface will be adopted for browser users and students. Report and more pics soon to follow.
