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.
