NASA's Astrobee cube robot completes first hardware tests in space

今日の英語の習慣化の題材は、ISS (International Space Station)の診断ロボットAstrobeeが稼動まじかに近づいたと言う記事です。少し、内容的に把握しにくいですが、頑張ってみて下さい❗️

NASA just inched closer to having robots take care of spacecraft. The agency recently completed its first hardware checkouts for Bumble (above), one of three Astrobee robots that will research automated caretaking aboard the International Space Station. The bot won't float on its own until later in the spring, but it should be good to go -- including for automated recharging at its docking station, Kibo.

The robot and one of its companions, Honey, flew to the station on April 17th.
