First American Robotic Lunar Rover Set To Land On The Moon

If all goes well with landing, MAPP — also known as Lunar Outpost’s Lunar Voyage 1 — will be the first American robotic rover on the moon, as well as the first private rover on a planetary body. It will deploy from Athena using a mechanism mounted on the lander’s side. It will then get to work on the lunar surface with a suite of instruments and technologies.
