ReFlex @ Mars

RE-FLEX has a collaboration with the Mars Society, the Mars Foundation and NASA in developing Mars visualizations related to the design of early Mars bases and settlements in different regions.

A major driver in this project is the NorCal Mars Rover Project, funded by Google. Here the goal is to develop and test two physical robotic rovers using a simulator, one of which will be deployed in the Mars Deseart Research Station in Utah. A second goal of  this project is to provide tools for educational outreach events and programs with K-12 science and engineering teachers and their students. Currently it is possible to download a limited prototype that illustrates this use from the Swedish Mars Society website.
