The KSC program has the ability to prove the soundness of a particular robotic concept on the ground before it is used in space. In this context, three (3) robotic systems are discussed: the tile robot (Tessellator); HFIR (High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter Inspection Robot); and ARID (Automatic Radiator Inspection Project). The Tessellator is a semi-autonomous robotic system used to rewaterproof and inspect thermal protection system tiles on the underside of the orbiter. The HFIR is used for autonomous inspection of HEPA filters located at the top of the LC 39 payload changeout rooms. The ARID is designed for autonomous inspection of orbiter radiators for damage while in the orbiter processing facility.
