From the ISS, astronaut Marcus Wandt guides 3 robots to Earth. This is a further step in view of future expeditions to the Moon and Mars, where robots will be able to support humans in the exploration of these celestial bodies.

The experiment lasted about 2 and a half hours in total and was a success. The Surface Avatar project launched in 2020 and managed by the German agency in collaboration with ESA. It aims to develop technology that will allow astronauts to control multiple robots simultaneously and independently.
