USA NASA MOON VIPER MISSION

NASA's Artemis rover passes critical design review

epa09551564 An undated handout picture made available by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shows an artist's concept of the completed design of NASA's Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER (issued 29 October 2021). VIPER, NASA's first lunar mobile robot, has passed its Critical Design Review (CDR), a critical milestone indicating that the rover has a completed design and has been approved by an independent NASA review board. The mission can now turn its attention to the construction of the rover itself, which will launch on a SpaceX Falcon-Heavy rocket for delivery to the Moon by Astrobotic's Griffin lander under NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. As part of the Artemis program, the VIPER mission is managed out of NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley, and its primary objective is to get a close-up view of the location and concentration of ice as well as other resources at the Moon's South Pole.
