Extreme Endeavors

New Technology will allow for research advances

Extreme Endeavors has signed a Space Act Agreement with the NASA Langley Research Center in order to enable both organizations to take advantage of recent advances in acoustic monitoring. New acoustic sensors developed by NASA will be integrated into a version of E2C's S.M.A.R.T system. There are many potential uses for these sensors, so E2C will be running a series of tests to determine their uses in a variety of applications.

Naturally, it wouldn't be an E2C operation if we didn't put these through the most rigorous testing possible! Our plans involve dropping the package down a very deep pit, (also known as the Hellhole cave system) and seeing how well it performs, and the nature of the data we can get from it. NASA is interested in this because it will have direct impact on their plans for a Mars mission.

Other groups will have an interest in this research as well, because making a model to aid in the detection of caverns and underground areas has many uses down here on Earth. Extreme Endeavors looks forward to integrating this new capability into the "sensor suite" we already possess, and to a long and fruitful partnership with NASA Langley.
