Kris is seen holding the dynamic cone penetrometer used for the study. The survey is part of the "Robotic Follow-up Experiment" led by Principal Investigator Dr Maria Bualat of NASA Ames Research Center and funded by NASA's Moon and Mars Analog Missions Activities (MMAMA) Program.

Yesterday, I was allowed the opportunity to help Dr. Kris Zacny in a Geotechnical study. I learned a lot, and had to do a bit of math, and one hour before leaving for the field work, I had to learn how to use and coordinate a route on a GPS System I had never used before. Needless to say, I excelled with flying colors. But enough about me. Dr. Zacny took me out, showed me how to go about conducting the survey and answered all questions I had about the survey. What can I say? Only that it's amazing learning new things, especially from individuals like Zacny that care about what they teach and who they're teaching it to.
