ESA is developing a digital tool to support lunar exploration. The Electronic Field Book (EFB) is an all-in-one information system that exchanges data and integrates science activities in remote environments.
The app works on a hand-held device. “In terms of performance, it is like a space iPad or a Samsung Galaxy Note,” explains Giorgio Magistrati, team leader of ESA’s Exploration Preparation, Research and Technology team.
