It is call Space Mining as <br /> the loose material on the surface (of Mars, Moon,Asteroids)can be collected <br /> and processed to extract valuable and needed resources such as oxygen, water, <br /> and materials. Robots will perform the collecting,and this competition pits <br /> various designs against performance. Systems engineering at its finest. <br /> PRISM extends the highly successful NASA Robotic Mining Competition held <br /> annually at Kennedy Space Center with college teams by placing the venue out <br /> of a "laboratory"setting of a confined regolith arena into our NASA-tested high- <br /> fidelity Mars and Lunar Analog test site at Mauna Kea, 9,000 ft level. <br /> PRISM also re-opens this event to international teams once welcomed at NASA <br /> when the event was called Lunabotics, but now as the RMC is restricted to US <br /> teams only. This will now be the only venue where these global teams can <br /> compete against the US Champion. <br /> RD ED Contingency Funds Forms Word <br />
