NASA announced the latest development progress and mission plan for its lunar rover on the 20th. The “Volatile Survey Polar Explorer” to explore the lunar water resources is scheduled to arrive in the lunar Antarctic region in 2027 for exploration, while the manned lunar terrain vehicle is scheduled to arrive in the Antarctic region of the Moon by 2028 to support future manned lunar exploration and lunar base construction. NASA said that the VIPER lunar rover is currently at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, has been assembled, and is undergoing final testing. The lunar rover is scheduled to be transported to the lunar surface by a lander developed by Blue Origin in the United States in 2027 to collect data on temperature, lighting conditions, and topography in the lunar south pole region. These data help scientists further understand the origin and distribution of lunar water resources and evaluate the potential of lunar resources for future lunar base construction.
