The state has awarded millions of dollars to fund space research facilities on the Big Island.
The Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems — or PISCES for short — received $2.3 million to help fund programs for space travel.
PISCES will also host robotic rovers competing for the international
Google Lunar-X Prize.
It’s a $30 million competition where privately-funded teams battle to send a robot to the moon.
