Summary[edit]
| Description |
In the Swamp Works facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a drone-like robot called an Asteroid and Lava Tube Free Flyer, or ALTFF, is prepared for a demonstration. Following humans landing on Mars, the ALTFF is designed to be an autonomous scout to seek out samples and return to them to the lander for study. In addition to scouting craters for water and other elements that can be processed into fuel for large spacecraft and air for astronaut explorers, the flyer would be capable of exploring lava tubes that are known to exist on asteroids and Mars. Lava tubes may be rich in valuable resources. Researchers at Kennedy are studying how to best practice in-situ resource utilization, that is, harvesting and relying on available raw materials as astronauts visit deep-space destinations.
