What is the purpose of the TeTWalker?
To study remote multi-body or high surface target area in inaccessible locations (although we are referring to extraterrestrial locations, note this can be applied to terrestrial). This represent challenges unachievable by conventional (direct control of single craft from centralized location) or even evolutionary (direct control of multi-craft from control surrogate) mission design. Such targets include surveys of extreme environments on the Earth, Moon, Mars, asteroids, comets, or dust populations. The revolutionary ANTS technology makes the achievement of such goals possible through the use of many small, autonomous, reconfigurable, redundant element craft acting as independent or collective agents.
