NASA astronaut controls Earth robots while flying 17,150 mph aboard ISS

The test is part of NASA and ESA’s future plans for controlling robots on the Moon’s surface from the lunar Gateway station.

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio recently controlled a small team of robots on Earth while flying aboard the International Space Station (ISS), a blog post from the European Space Agency (ESA) reveals.

The test was carried out in order to demonstrate and investigate the capacity for using remote-controlled robots for future lunar exploration.
