Показать описание
NASA’s Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor, EELS for short, is a futuristic-looking, modular ‘snake,’ designed to explore deep space. But before the device is deployed to one of Saturn’s moons, the science team behind it needed to test it out somewhere a little closer to home: the Athabasca glacier in Jasper National Park.

Science lead Morgan Cable with NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory joined Radio Active to tell host Jessica Ng all about it.
