Washington DC (SPX) Sep 18, 2020

Some of the most interesting places to study in our solar system are found in the most inhospitable environments - but landing on any planetary body is already a risky proposition. With NASA planning robotic and crewed missions to new locations on the Moon and Mars, avoiding landing on the steep slope of a crater or in a boulder field is critical to helping ensure a safe touch down for surface e
