#Astrolab is developing a larger rover that can accommodate about 3 cubic meters of payload. The excavating 🪏 equipment would go under the belly of the rover. It is likely that a #FLEX rover will be on the first #SpaceX #Starship mission planned to fly to the Moon 🌙 in 2027 or 2028

— Astrolab представила новый компактный луноход FLIP

(2/8)

Компания, занимающая разработкой луноходов для лунной программы Artemis рассказала, что FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform (FLIP) сильно меньший, чем их главный луноход Flexible Logistics and Exploration rober (FLEX) и призван испытать их технологии перед посылкой флагманского лунохода, чьей ответсвенностью будет в том числе перевозка людей.
Такое решение позволит им проверить на практике различные модули (например, колёса у обоих моделей одинаковы), оставаясь в бюджете и не подвергая астронавтов опасности. Однако, всё проверить не удастся — пока FLIP выдерживает 30-50 кг нагрузки, куда более габаритный FLEX расчитан на 1.5 тонны и т.д.
