The Lunar Precursor Robotic Program (LPRP) is a NASA program that uses robotic spacecraft to prepare for future crewed missions to the Moon.The program gathers data such as lunar radiation, surface imaging, areas of scientific interest, temperature and lighting conditions, and potential resource identification.
In December 2022, NASA selected Intuitive Machines to design a lander for the PRIME-1 experiment drill, which was the companies second Moon contract with NASA. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In November 2023 a mission simulation was undertaken by engineers at the Kennedy Space centre.
NASA Spidernaut robot render. The Spidernaut is a concept for an extra-vehicular robot developed by NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. [1]The Spidernaut was originally developed and designed in 2005 [2] as part of a group of robots designed to assemble solar arrays on the moon, working as a team independent of human control. [3]
NASA's Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operations Robot (RASSOR 2) Pronounced "Razor", stands for Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operations Robot. It is a lunar robot that will autonomously excavate soil when it is near completion, with its small tank like chassis with a Drum excavator and either side mounted on arms which can help the ...
NASA announced the selection of Dragonfly on 27 June 2019, which is expected to be built and launched by July 2028. [30] Dragonfly is the fourth in NASA's New Frontiers portfolio, a series of principal investigator-led planetary science investigations that fall under a development cost cap of approximately US$850 million, and including launch ...
Project M (NASA) was a NASA initiative to design, develop and land a humanoid robot on the lunar surface in 1000 days. [20] Work on some of the lander's systems began in 2006, when NASA's Constellation program planned a human return to the Moon. [11]
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is a NASA robotic spacecraft currently orbiting the Moon in an eccentric polar mapping orbit. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Data collected by LRO have been described as essential for planning NASA's future human and robotic missions to the Moon. [ 8 ]
Simulation of Robonaut 2 on moon for Project M Robonaut 2 Project M was a proposed NASA project to send a Robonaut to the Moon . [ 1 ] This was originally hoped to be achieved in just a thousand days from the official announcement, but was later shifted into Project Morpheus .
