New additions to this website are made after patents have been submitted. Like the viewing the stars at night, you are looking at the past on this website ( although the relevant delay times are months not years or far more). The architectures presented here represent the results of a thought experiment on the structure of the Prospecting Asteroid Mission (PAM) with a swarm of 1000 autonomous spacecraft set in the mid-21st century. That study was sponsored by NASA's Revolutionary Aerospace Systems and Concepts (RASC) program. Our present studies are on the results of that study back propagated in time to the present. As a consequence, we know where we want to go and the path to get there.

ANTS Fact
Unlike any other rover, the TET walker is designed to roll over.
