Learn MoreAs technology advances exploring becomes easier and more practical, NASA is willing to offer $1 million for the first team that can put together a robot that can be virtually controlled from Earth as it travels to Mars. NASA wants a robot, similar to Robonaut 5 that can re-align communication satellites and maybe fix any number of environmental disturbances, especially when dealing with communication delays between Earth and Mars. This competition is going to be a partnership with Space Houston and the innovation consultant organization NineSigma. Creating robots that can perform very steady and precise applications in order to work with any delays in communications can be of great advantage in spaceflight or landing missions on Mars, and any other mission that deals with any complications that may or will occur.
