Five photos and a movie describe a new type of robotic, interplanetary probe, called a snakebot, being developed by engineers at NASA's Ames Research Center.
Ames Biocomputation Center
Dedicated to the development and application of advanced visualization, computation and simulation technologies to support NASA Space Life Science research. Continuing research ranges from biomedical/clinical applications to scientific imaging, 3D cell structure analysis and astrobiology.
Space Science Division
http://www-space.arc.nasa.gov/
Dedicated to research in astrophysics, exobiology, advanced life support technologies, and planetary science.
Astrobiology and Space Research Directorate
Conducts research, develops products, and serves the space community in astrobiology and related areas of earth, space, and life science. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny of life in the universe.
Astrobiology at NASA
http://astrobiology.arc.nasa.gov/
Astrobiology is the study of the origin, distribution, and destiny of life in the universe. It uses multiple scientific disciplines and space technologies to address fundamental questions of the origins of life.
Earth Observing System
EOS consists of a science component and a data system supporting a coordinated series of polar-orbiting and low inclination satellites for long-term global observations of the land surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans.
Center for Mars Exploration
