For drilling automation for a lunar regolith prospecting suite, led by the Army CRREL (cold regions lab, near Boston). The maximum value was about $3.4M over 4 years, minimum was $0.8M, we appear headed for something around $1.3M.
Thanks! It is doing well... they didn't run away screaming when they saw my budget estimates, and now we're just haggling over the details. I told them that they *had* to include more system integration and software architecture work, or we couldn't do our controller, and they eventually were persuaded :^).
