NASA is going to send a Rover to Moon in 2023 

The US space agency has announced has announced to send its first mobile robot to Moon in 2023 in search of ice and other resources on and below the lunar surface.

This is one more instance of how robotic science missions and human exploration go hand in hand, and why each are essential as we put together to ascertain a sustainable presence on the moon.

The rover will discover lunar craters utilizing a specialised set of wheels and suspension system to cowl quite a lot of inclines and soil varients.

The rover's design significantly enhances upon a former robotic concept to prospect the Moon called Resource Prospector, which NASA cancelled in early 2018.

Since then the VIPER mission duration was extended from one to three lunar days i.e. 100 Earth days

It will be going to run on solar power, VIPER will need to quickly manoeure around the extreme swings in light and dark at lunar South Pole.

Throughout the Artemis programme, NASA will send Robots and Humans to explore more of the moon than ever before.

When astronauts return to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972, they will follow in VIPER's wheel prints and land at the lunar south pole.

"That mission will include landing the first woman on the moon. She will be the one of two crew members paving the way for sustainable lunar exploration missions with crew," NASA said.
