Proposal thumbs-up

jayI just heard that a quickie proposal last month was selected for funding by NASA Headquarters! The strange thing was that it was the "toss-off" proposal, the one I expected to be rejected (and wrote while half-asleep, almost in stream-of-consciousness). The other, carefully-edited proposal was rejected instead.
Hmmm... more use of active voice?
And my Australian collaborator in my geophysics research sent me his figures, so my poster will be set for next week's Lunar and Planetary Sciences conference in Houston (yay!). And I have my travel reservations for next week, with a return connection through Minnneapolis :-).
Collaborative Exploration
Just as important as what robots and humans will do in future exploration is how they will do it with other human and robot explorers. ARC has a history of leading-edge research in science collaboration and work support. Previous studies have captured field geologists on video and dissected their workflow Teamed robots and humans in the Arctic with a team of scientists at NASA and designed the prototype wireless data communications and tools that became the baseline for the International Space Station. This task proposes to combine several of these strengths to study collaboration in scientific exploration, demonstrating remote wireless field communications together with links to an Earth-based science team at NASA. This could be demonstrated as early as the summer of 2002, examining the technologies and the underlying issues involved in teaming humans, robots, and remote support teams.
