Our robot, SNOWSTORM, is capable of extracting ice, using a cylindrical saw that rotates while sliding down the red planet, and can also withstand its conditions. In addition, the robot can store the ice before reaching the Space Station. By achieving this, it is possible to discover what happened in the past and even supply or sustain a population in the future." - Description of the SNOWSTORM project submitted and now present on the official website of the NASA International Space Apps Challenge.
