VIPER mobility testing
Model of the VIPER (Virtual Intelligent Planetary Exploration Rover) being tested for mobility in the Simulated Lunar Operations Laboratory at NASA's Glenn Research Center. About the size of a golf cart, VIPER is a mobile robot that will land at the South Pole of the Moon in late 2024 on a 100-day mission. It will roam around the Moon's South Pole looking for water ice and other potential resources in the region. The large, adjustable soil bin contains a lunar simulant and allows engineers to mimic the Moon's terrain. Test data will be used to evaluate the traction of the vehicle and wheels, determine the power requirements for a variety of manoeuvres and compare methods of traversing steep slopes. Respirators are worn by researchers to protect against the airborne silica that is present during testing.
