The world’s largest indoor lunar and Martian surface simulations are being built next to Johnson Space Center, and Houston founders, engineers, and investors can use them.

Dr. Rob Ambrose, Associate Director of the Texas A&M Space Institute, will walk through the 400,000 sq ft facility at NASA’s Exploration Park: what’s being built, how companies will get access, and where startups fit in.

About RobRob spent three decades at NASA JSC, where he led development of Robonaut and lunar rover prototypes. He retired as Division Chief for Software, Robotics and Simulation, and today directs space programs for the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station.
