At the 26C3 we first presented our vision of sending a rover to the moon. We're still in the pursuit of doing this and are closer than ever. Many things have happened in the past 5 years and we want to share our story with you. But this talk is not just about us, it is also about you! You will have the possibility to contribute to our mission, just tune in to get all the details :)
In the past five years, we developed several lunar rovers. Each got more and more sophisticated and better suited for our mission. In this presentation we will also unveil our latest upgrade to the the well known R3 rover, as well as the latest camera technology. Those two allowed us to participate in an interims competition of the Google Lunar X Prize. This interims prize enables us to further pursue our dream of sending a rover to the moon. In our mission to the moon, we also have the ability to bring payloads up on the lunar surface for the first time in a few decades (unless you have some good connection to the chinese who were there last year). We are calling out to you, to develop an interesting payload, that we could potentially bring to the surface of the moon!
