Telerobots, like the one the crew is testing in this video, may one day save lives on Mars by replacing humans on treacherous missions through the Red Planet's challenging terrain. Canyons on Mars present a host of dangers for spacewalking astronauts. The steep walls are exhausting to climb in a bulky spacesuit, the lack of erosion on Mars' surface allows for jagged, unstable rocks, and one slip could lead to a lethal tear in your spacesuit.
Get a close-up look at the robot and see the world through its eyes. Lights ... Camera ... Action!
