gave the application to NASA as a gift, which NASA accepted as an “In-kind” sponsorship to their competition. The work has been valued by NASA as worth $2500+, and SASRA received the status of “Bronze Sponsor” for the NASA Lunabotics. We will have our logo all over the competition media and even on their T-shirts. This is only the first version of the first software application planned for SASRA. If anyone is interested in space mining software/games conceptualisation, design, development, please contact us for further information.
