When it comes to space, humans and robots go way back. We rely heavily on our mechanical friends to perform tasks that are too dangerous, difficult or out of reach for humans. We’re even working on a new generation of robots that will help us explore in advanced and novel ways. With NASA’s CADRE — Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration — project, a new network of mini rovers could enable future autonomous robotic exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Subha Comandur from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains more. #NASA #SpaceExploration #Astronomy #SpaceScience #SpaceVideos #Astrophysics #RocketLaunch #SpaceDiscovery #SpaceMission #NASAResearch

NASA ID: KSC-20230804-MH-GEB01-0001 -KSC- 20230804-GEBO1- Psyche_DAPM_Deployment_WON-3335530- 3335530 A team of engineers and technicians worked on deploying and stowing stationary plasma thrusters (SPT) on NASA's Psyche spacecraft inside the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Aug. 4, 2023. This is part of the assembly, test, and launch operations preparations. The SPT are on a dual axis positioning mechanism, the DAPM, and together they make a DSM, or DAPM- Actuated SPT Module. Psyche will launch atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy. Launch is targeted for Oct. 5, 2023. Riding with Psyche is a pioneering technology demonstration, NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment. #NASA #SpaceExploration #Astronomy #SpaceScience #SpaceVideos #Astrophysics #RocketLaunch #SpaceDiscovery #SpaceMission #NASAResearch
