This video shows part of the Moon-Analog Mission. As part of the experiment, the rover drives to the lunar lander and uses the robotic arm to release the seismic instrument from the screw connection. Then the seismic instrument is placed in a holding device on the rover and the rover moves to a predetermined point to deposit the seismometer there on the ground. Then the seismometer makes a measurement, is raised again and autonomously driven by the robot to another point of the traverse and dropped off there. [endtext]
