Cold Operable Lunar Deployable Arm Project

NASA Cold Operable Lunar Deployable Arm (COLDArm) project develops a robotic arm and cryogenic-capable mechanisms for lunar surface operations in extreme cold. The project is funded through NASA Lunar Surface Innovation Initiative and managed by Game Changing Development, with a targeted commercial lunar lander technology demonstration and potential autonomous regolith-sensing attachments.
