CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A photograph of NASA's Regolith and Environment Science and Oxygen and Lunar Volatiles Extraction, or RESOLVE, rover is on display atop a RESOLVE lander during a media tour of the Swamp Works at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. RESOLVE consists of a rover and drill provided by the Canadian Space Agency to support a NASA payload under development to prospect for water, ice and other lunar resources. RESOLVE also will demonstrate how future explorers can take advantage of resources at potential landing sites by manufacturing oxygen from soil. NASA used the lander to conduct field tests outside Hilo, Hawaii, in July 2012. Kennedy's Swamp Works provides rapid, innovative and cost-effective exploration mission solutions, leveraging partnerships across NASA, industry and academia. Kennedy's research and technology mission is to improve spaceports on Earth, as well as lay the groundwork for establishing spaceports at destinations in space.
