Furthermore, as this project was about developing a showcase of a space robot powered by NASA certified hardware developed by the US team, which however can be controlled using an Android application developed by our German team, we also had the please to get invited to the NASA Johnson Space Center.

After we completed our project work, we had a few days of spare time left to do a short road tip to Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin. Especially the Hamilton Pool Preserve has been an amazing place to see.
