Abstract:
This presentation will present abrief history of the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES).  It will also present a summary of the recent joint NASA/CSA ISRU Analog Field Test conducted this past summer on the slopes of Mauna Kea.
Two distinct operations areas (9,000 and 11,000 feet) were utilized, with remote command and control from a third location. Two prototype rovers were utilized.
Potential opportunities for further analog uses through out the Big Island of Hawaii for governmental and commercial (e.g. GLXP) space systems ground testing will be discussed.
