Updates on Robot Recon mission


For the past 10 days, NASA's K10 robot has been roaming around Arizona's Black Point lava field as a test of the remote controls needed for the Lunar Electric Rover that will be a recon vehicle when we return to the Moon.

You can follow the daily progress of the tests at the Robot Recon web site. The current test runs through June 27.
