Boris Debic’s Experience
-
Director
Robotics Project NASA/Mars Society
(Non-Profit; 11-50 employees; Research industry)
March 2007 — Present (2 years 5 months)
A research project part of NASA's Spaceward Bound Initiative and in cooperation with the Mars Society aimed at deploying a pair of robotic vehicles at the Mars Desert Research Station.
Spaceward Bound is a program developed at NASA Ames and funded by the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) at NASA Headquarters. The focus of Spaceward Bound is to contribute to the training of the next generation of space explorers by having students and teachers participate in the exploration of scientifically interesting but remote and extreme environments on Earth as analogs for human exploration of the Moon and Mars. The program realizes that the astronauts who will be exploring the Moon in 2020+ and the crew of the Mars base that will follow are in elementary and middle school today. The senior scientists and engineers that will direct these missions are today undergraduates and graduate students. The goal is to inspire and train these students—in field exploration. -
