Astrolab field trip

PVNet Students Visit AstroLab

PVNet Interns recieved an engineering tour from AstroLab engineers at Venturi Astrolab, Inc.

​

Astrolab is a revolutionary space research center that is focused on designing, building and operating a fleet of multi-purpose commercial planetary rovers to extend and enhance humanity’s presence in the solar system.

​

HEADING TO THE MOON!

Their latest project is the multi-functional Flexible Logistics & Exploration rover (FLEX). Its primary goal is to support human operations, robotic science, exploration, logistics, construction, resource utilization, and other activities critical to enabling a sustained human presence on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

PVNet students were treated to a handsome experience of the rover. Interestingly, it's worth noting that there was a possibility that components from this rover that students are standing on may be in the final configuration going to mars on a SpaceX mission in 2025.
