Etna, an active volcano in Sicily where the landscape is similar to Martian geology.

Key Points: 
  • Etna, an active volcano in Sicily where the landscape is similar to Martian geology.
  • Skypersonics Skycopter drone can be piloted virtually anywhere, from virtually anywhere, as the Skypersonic team demonstrated on Mt.
  • Using Skypersonics ground-breaking Long Range Real-Time Remote Piloting System, the drone and rover on the active volcano in Italy were controlled by personnel in Houston, Texas, in real time.
  • We look forward to the ultimate test on Earth, at least when our technology will be used during NASAs upcoming yearlong simulated Mars mission.
