NASA DEVELOP students at Stennis Space Center recently held a midterm review with George Crozier, who serves as a science adviser to the team. The team also was joined by Jamie Favors of the Mobile (Ala.) County Health Department DEVELOP Team; Cheri Miller, the team's NASA adviser; and Kenton Ross, a team science adviser. Students participating in the meeting included: Lauren Childs, Jason Jones, Maddie Brozen, Matt Batina, Jenn Frey, Angie Maki and Aaron Brooks. The primary purpose of the meeting was to update Crozier on the status of the team's work for the summer 2008 term and discuss plans for the fiscal year 2009 project proposal. This included discussion of a possible project to study the effects of hurricanes on the Florida panhandle. DEVELOP is a NASA-sponsored, student-led, student-run program focused on developing projects to help communities.

Members of the assembly, test, launch, and operations team for NASA's CADRE (Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration) project pose in a clean room at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California on Jan. 26, 2024, with three lunar rovers after their completion.  Bound for the Moon, CADRE is a technology demonstration designed to show that a group of robotic spacecraft can work together as a team to accomplish tasks and record data autonomously – without explicit commands from mission controllers on Earth.  Seen behind the rovers are hardware elements that will be mounted on the lunar lander aboard which CADRE will arrive at the Moon: the situational awareness camera assembly (SACA), one of the deployers that will lower the rovers onto the lunar surface, and the base station with which the rovers will communicate via mesh network radios.
