Jet Propulsion Laboratory is located in Southern California
(NASA) – Two full-scale development model rovers that are part of NASA’s CADRE technology demonstration drive in the Mars Yard at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California in August 2023.
The project is designed to show that a group of robotic spacecraft can work together as a team to accomplish tasks and record data autonomously – without explicit commands from mission controllers on Earth.
The CADRE (Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration) project is developing a network of small rovers that will work together to explore the Moon in an experiment to demonstrate new technology.
Communicating via mesh network radios with each other and a base station aboard a lunar lander, the rovers will be largely autonomous, making decisions and acting without the need for constant human intervention.
