They have made a new robot and to find water and it has a Canadian drill. This is one of the tow robots they want to talk about in there conversayshin. This robot was built by researchers at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and tow Canadians included there work to this to. They hope that it gives them information to now how strong the drill has to be to dig in to lunar soil and rock because rover won’t go on the trip. It is hard to build a rover like this because it has to run on lo battery but has to be heavy enough to support drilling. This is the first step of understanding the potential for lunar resources and developing the knowledge needed to understand it better, said NASA's Bill Larson. It is distend to go one meter in the earth the regolith it was built by northern instituted. A camera is put in whit lacer light that allows the rover to see where it is drilling. Notec is best known for building the 3D laser camera. Later in 2008 it will have a partner that allows crushing the rock and heating it to get water out of it. They are testing other wheals rate now to at Exploration Conference in Denver.

I like about this project because:

They are searching for water so that would mean they can youse it in poor countries and help them to get more fresh water.
