bycreating a bridge to provide students access to the research and development activities involvedin space exploration, as well as to support and develop a pipeline program to encourage the nextgeneration of engineers and scientists. Of special interest is to ensure that robotics researchknowledge derived from exploration missions and programs is transferred to the educationalarena.2The current exploration vision of NASA is to develop the technology and infrastructure requiredto send humans back to the Moon and Mars.3 Some of the technologies that must be matured arethose that are needed to support combined robot/human crews for establishing a base on theMoon in a safe and cost effective manner. Addressing challenging engineering problems such
