You can drive this little logistics robot in our Mars virtual colony right from your web browser here:

(It's much smoother on a gamer graphics card, but should work anywhere.)


We have a subreddit and discord server "Virtual Space Explorers" where we're coordinating development--if you have a problem or suggestion to improve things let us know!

This project began as part of Nexus Aurora, an open source space colonization project.  It aims to develop the technology needed for people to live sustainably anywhere, including in space or on the surface of Mars.  We will do this by advancing the materials science, architecture, and automation needed to allow in-situ resource utilization to create and recycle nearly 100% of what people need to live anywhere.
