NASA has recently announced that it would send a mobile robot, the VIPER to the South Pole of the Moon to trace the exact location and strength of ice water. Water on the Moon would make future Mars missions more affordable and could feed commercial enterprises linking the Earth and the Moon. Instead of transporting water into space on rockets, the aim is to extract it from the moon and asteroids. “The combination of solar energy, artificial intelligence, robotics, and materials science can achieve mining,” says Karen Panetta, IEEE Fellow, Dean for Graduate Education, Tufts University
