Honey, come here! NASA needs ideas for Astrobees! 🐝 NASA is seeking input from American companies for future uses of free-flying robots in zero gravity to foster science, technology, and education. Responses are due Friday, Sept 27. go.nasa.gov/4gFetx2
iss065e389375 (9/20/2021) — NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough poses with the Astrobee robotic free-flyers in support of the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (Robo-Pro Challenge). The Kibo-RPC, allows students to create programs to control Astrobee, a free-flying robot aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
