# iMETRO: Integrated Mobile Evaluation Testbed for Robotics Operations
54

6-
iMETRO is a facility designed to catalyze the adaptation of advanced terrestrial robotic technologies for space exploration use cases - such as logistics, maintenance, and science utilization within environments designed for human exploration on the Lunar and Martian surfaces.
7-
With focus on Intra-Vehicular Activity (IVA) environments of surface habitats, pressurized rover cabins, and space station internal modules iMETRO offers integration and insight to high fidelity mockups and test beds.
8-
The goal of iMETRO is to increase the availability of end-to-end systems, enabling remote operation of robots in space facilitated by humans on Earth.
