Texas A&M is one of six universities collaborating with NASA to teach dog-like robots to navigate on challenging surfaces to better prepare for planetary exploration.

The agreement allows the A&M System to support training, aeronautics research, advanced robotics and work on lunar and Martian exploration toward the development of a commercial space economy.

The nature of cosmic dust has long been a mystery, but astronomers have identified the source of a lot of dust previously unaccounted for.

By adding fungi and worm manure to simulated moondust, researchers managed to grow a small crop of the protein-rich legumes, offering hope for future lunar farming efforts.

Students and researchers will help the United States Space Force’s Space Strategic Technology Institute with critical research worth nearly $50 million.
