Team AERO, from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) transports their robot to the competition field for the level one of the competition during the 2014 NASA Centennial Challenges Sample Return Robot Challenge, Wednesday, June 11, 2014, at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Mass. Eighteen teams are competing for a $1.5 million NASA prize purse. Teams will be required to demonstrate autonomous robots that can locate and collect samples from a wide and varied terrain, operating without human control. The objective of this NASA-WPI Centennial Challenge is to encourage innovations in autonomous navigation and robotics technologies. Innovations stemming from the challenge may improve NASA's capability to explore a variety of destinations in space, as well as enhance the nation's robotic technology for use in industries and applications on Earth.

A view of the X-59 being supported by ground supports in preparation for installation of the landing gear and other hardware required for structural testing. Lockheed Martin Photography By Garry Tice 1011 Lockheed Way, Palmdale, Ca. 93599 Event: Removal From Tooling Jig Date: 10/27/2021 Additional Info:
The X-59 is free from its structural support jig for the first time. In this image, cranes are holding up the aircraft prior to placement on the floor jacks. Notice that the nose has been removed temporarily — it will be reinstalled again before the upcoming structural testing.
