NASA has awarded Firefly Aerospace of Cedar Park, Texas, which belongs to Ukrainian businessman Max Polyakov, approximately $93.3 million to deliver a suite of 10 science investigations and technology demonstrations to the Moon in 2023. The delivery, planned for Mare Crisium, a low-lying basin on the Moon’s near side, will investigate a variety of lunar surface conditions and resources. Such investigations will help prepare for human missions to the lunar surface: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-selects-firefly-aerospace-for-artemis-commercial-moon-delivery-in-2023

The award is part of the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, in which NASA is securing the service of commercial partners to quickly land science and technology payloads on the lunar surface. The initiative is a key part of NASA’s Artemis program. Firefly Aerospace will be responsible for end-to-end delivery services, including payload integration, launch from Earth, landing on the Moon, and mission operations. This is the sixth award for lunar surface delivery under the CLPS initiative.

Short development description

The complex is designed to search and perform precise technical operations in the local area, the location of which is a priori unknown.

The complex consists of a ground mobile chassis of high cross-country ability and an unmanned multicopter aircraft.

The mobile wheeled chassis (remotely controlled or automatic) is made in compliance with the requirements of stealth on the ground, it is able to overcome obstacles in the form of holes, beams, rubble, ruins, stair flights of houses. This abilities expands the scope of its application to places where other equipment is unable to pass.

New and previously created technical solutions for robotic systems designed to operate in extreme conditions were used. This is one of the robot’s prototype we have design earlier.

The chassis is equipped with an integrated inertial-satellite navigation system, a technical vision system for the possibility of an autonomous traffic to the supposed local area of technical operations.
