NASA Ames(@NASAAmes):Ultra-realistic Moon environment? We’ve got it! 🌕 At our Lunar Lab and Regolith Testbeds, we create custom, realistic terrain and lighting conditions in large boxes filled with simulated lunar dust to mimic the features that future robots, rovers, and astronauts will experience on the Moon’s surface. Explore how testing in this simulated lunar environment prepares us for future long-duration stays on our celestial neighbor:
