NASA's Snake-Like Robot by Indian-Origin Engineer Aims for Martian Exploration and Disaster Rescue

NASA is conducting tests on a groundbreaking robot, EELS (Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor), designed by Indian-origin engineer Rohan Thakker at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Inspired by the Indian python, this snake-shaped robot is set to autonomously explore uncharted territories on the Moon and Mars. Thakker envisions EELS as a tool for the search for extraterrestrial life, having undergone successful testing on simulated Martian terrain and glaciers. Beyond space exploration, its applications extend to disaster search and rescue operations. #sosouth #sosouthshorts #nasa #snakerobot #mars #moon #latestnews
