NASA has revealed a “snake” robot that will be sent to Enceladus, one of Saturn’s 83 moons, in search of water, an environment capable of supporting life.
According to the “New York Post”, the robot is regarding 4 meters long and weighs nearly 100 kg, and it is able to glide over difficult terrain using rotating clips.
The robot was developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in a new test of a snake-shaped robot that can adapt to different surface conditions and explore celestial bodies.
The team hopes to send this robot into outer space to help answer the age-old question of whether life exists beyond Earth.
The Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor, or EELS, is a snake-like robot designed to maneuver through solid and liquid formations while collecting samples.
The icy surface of Enceladus is believed to be relatively smooth, with temperatures above minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit, thanks to data from the Voyager spacecraft dating back to the 1980s.
The space agency said that if the search is successful, it might lead to a deeper exploration of celestial bodies that were once considered out of reach.
