Dear Mr. Fowler,

Thanks for your interest in the Lunar Rover Terrestrial Demonstration
program. Woomera is under serious consideration for the traverse
trials and we would like your assistance with the location of a test
site suitable for the purpose. The site characterstics that matter are
terrain (barren, size, vistas, obstacle density) communication support
and overlooking base station site. Later, we will like to  visit the site
to confirm that the terrain is suitable and to assess Woomera's
infrastructure relative to our requirements.   
     
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at
+1-412-268-6556 or Deepak Bapna at +1-412-268-7414 (email:
deepak@ri.cmu.edu). Thanks again for your help.

Sincerely



Red Whittaker
Principal Investigator
