Robotic Bees Designed to Explore Mars

Bee-lieve it or not NASA could send a swarm of robot bees to the Red Planet. Researchers are taking inspiration from the insect world to develop Marsbee, a bold new idea that could enhance the exploration of Mars. NASA 360 takes a look at the NASA Innovative Advanced Concept (NIAC) called Marsbee, a revolutionary concept for exploring the Red Planet.
