PISCES Robotic Village and Planetary Rover, Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems, Hilo, Hawaii, USA

Video documenting the PISCES rover's debut in Hawaii. The robotic spacecraft arrived March 2014 on the island of Oahu, where PISCES and the Pacific Aviation Museum at Pearl Harbor teamed up to showcase the rover to the public for the first time. From a surprise visit to students at Stevenson Middle School in Honolulu, to a demo at the Hawaii State Capitol, a private reception at the Pacific Aviation Museum, LIVE morning show coverage on KITV and KHON, and the "Discover Your Future in Aviation" event at the Museum, the PISCES planetary rover had a busy and exciting introduction to the people of the Aloha State. In April, it finally arrived at its final destination - the Big Island of Hawaii...just in time to take part in the Merrie Monarch parade. The PISCES rover comes from Canada's Ontario Drive Gear via an extended loan agreement. It will be used in Hawaii for PISCES's "Robotic Village". For more information, go to Pisces.Hawaii.Gov
