WASHINGTON -- NASA Chief Technologist Mason Peck will visit Honeybee
Robotics in Pasadena, Calif., on Wednesday, March 14. Peck's visit
will highlight how government can partner with small business to help
create the jobs of the future through investment in science and
technology.
At 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Peck will arrive at the facility, which is
located at 398 West Washington Blvd. in Pasadena. Journalists and
camera crews wanting to attend the Honeybee tour must be at the

Honeybee Robotics has been a technology supplier to the last three
Mars missions. It has received multiple NASA Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) awards to develop mechanisms that could be
used on future NASA missions, many of which also have potential in
the commercial marketplace. These include excavation and drilling
tools for potential use in harsh environments on Earth and other
planets.
During his visit, Peck and senior company officials will be available
to speak with reporters, tour facilities and answer questions about
NASA's technology investments. There also will be a photo opportunity
with Peck and company officials during the tour.
