The robotic arm would be the first such device ever built to test a deep space rover, which could include a landing site and a crewed outpost. A robotic arm may also be used to detect Martian moons for a mission to Jupiter.
NASA also recently used a rover to collect data from asteroids at a distance. NASA also recently used a rover to collect data from asteroids at a distance. The rover has recently left Curiosity, then headed towards Mars.
The new arm would be able to send a portion of Curiosity’s robotic arm to the International Space Station, an important step in the agency’s goal of sending humans to Mars safely by the 2030s. The mission would be launched Jan. 7. It will provide a crucial glimpse into Mars’ past, and lead to a detailed account of Martian life on Earth.
The arm would be at a distance of 18,000 kilometers (9,500 miles) from Earth.
