The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

As NASA prepares to launch Artemis I, engineers are already developing solutions for creating a sustainable base of operations on another world. From habitat construction to large payload movement to resource utilization, astronaut crews will need assistance with various dangerous and/or dull surface tasks. In this webinar, we'll explore the various robotic technologies that could make living on Mars a reality one day. Relevant instructional resources will also be included.
