The Space Trajectory team at SDSU is soaring to new heights as they enter the finals of a NASA competition.
Dr. Todd Letcher is leading the team as they attempt to build a lunar robot that can handle the extreme conditions of the moons southern pole, which reaches a staggeringly low temperature of -382 degrees F.
NASA is hoping the ice crystals will contain enough water to sustain life on the moon and possibly to propel a mission to Mars.
The robot is designed to harvest those crystals.
