NASA unveils snake-like robot to search for life on one of Saturn's Moons

India TV News  

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has revealed a snake-like robot that it intends to deploy to Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, in search of life. The self-propelled robot, known as EELS, can travel over a range of surfaces on Earth, the Moon, and "far beyond," as per JPL, which claims that EELs was motivated by a desire to search for indications …

When the Perseverance rover hurtled down Mars's thin atmosphere towards the Jazero crater, a unique navigation technology helped guide it to a location that was most favourable for its survival during touchdown. Scientists will deploy Orpheus, a new class of submersible robot, that will use navigation technology to identify interesting scientific features on the Atlantic seabed. “This tech demo will …
