Is this the year the U.S. finally lands a robotic rover on the moon?

Born to Design: Accessable Lunar Missions

Student projects soar over simulated lunar surface! This summer, middle and high school experiments flew aboard Astrobotic Technology’s rocket-powered lander over a simulated lunar surface as part of our TechRise Student Challenge. During two flights on June 21 and July 26, the lander flew for approximately one minute at about 80 feet, allowing for 30 student payloads to collect information on surface features and discover hidden objects on the “moonscape” built in Mojave, California.

It’s dark out there — just like at many scientifically interesting places on the Moon and beyond! So our Flight Opportunities program has been working to provide safe landings in those locations, with a series of flight tests over a simulated lunar surface. Precision landing capabilities to deliver spacecraft to safe landing locations in the dark is a high priority for human and robotic missions. Three winners of the TechLeap Prize's Nighttime Precision Landing Challenge got the chance to develo

Lunar Logistics company Astrobotic is on a mission to make robotic and human space exploration accessible to the world – and using Ansys simulation solutions to do it. From landers and rovers to autonomous spacecraft navigation systems, Astrobotic builds and operates cutting-edge technology helping to usher in a new age of science and discovery. | Ansys
