This week, the rover group finalized the preliminary design of the two rovers that will roam the surface of the Moon. The two crafts with external dimensions of 0.33x0.28x0.35 m (WxLxH) will each travel in the same direction, controlled directly from the earth-based mission control center. This way, the rovers can switch tasks whenever necessary. An artist impression of the latest layout is shown below, again through the help of Robert Korteland. An overview of the development of the rover is found on the 'Rover Design' page.
