Astrobotic partnered with KSC under a $2M NASA Tipping Point contract to conduct testing in KSC’s Granular Mechanics and Regolith Operations laboratory.
Astrobotic’s CubeRover completed more than 150 mobility tests on a surface designed to mimic the Moon, including driving in a trench, collecting samples, and driving back out. Two sets of wheels exceeded testing expectations and these tests will help to design the three sizes of the scalable CubeRover line.
