Moon enthusiasts in California remotely operate 700-pound planetary rover in Kailua-Kona
The 700-pound rover wasn’t on the moon — it was on rugged volcanic terrain that mimics the lunar surface, in Kailua-Kona. The drivers operating the rover were not in Hawaiʻi, but more than 2,000 miles away in California.
During Wednesday’s simulation of space exploration, 15 drivers from private industry and academia remotely navigated the PISCES planetary rover called Helelani (heavenly travels) at Hawaiʻi Ocean Science and Technology Park. They gained valuable experience in operating a rover from a great distance.

For Hawai‘i residents, active-duty military personnel and their family members, annual lay net permits will be issued free of charge.
