NASA has landed, right here. A team of scientists from NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field is conducting a two-week "shake and bake" test on its K-9 Rover Robot at Graniterock's Wilson Quarry in Aromas. "We are pretending it's a real mission," said associate and principal investigator Liam Pedersen. "We want to shake down the rover to see if everything is working."
