Posted by Nick Azer in : Google Lunar X Prize, Google Lunar X Prize Roundup , trackback

The Google Lunar X PRIZE is a $30 million competition challenging private space enterprises to land a rover on the Moon. Each week, I round up all the latest developments as the teams rocket forwards and upwards…

After a pretty epic week last week, Oct. 19th-26th was a little milder; that’s only comparatively, though, as there was a great official post and plenty of news to go around!:

  • GLXP Guy Will Pomerantz posted a thorough update on where the GLXP stands and is going :)
  • Team FREDNET officially became a nonprofit!
  • Team Moon Express issued their official announcement press release! (Check out my in-depth feature on the team’s entry!)
  • Team Part Time Scientists tested a prototype of their rover on beach sand :)
  • Team Omega Envoy sat down for an Evadot podcast!
  • Team Astrobotic blogged about solar energy tracking!
  • Team SELENE featured a “stinger missile” rover design!
  • Team ARCA announced plans to create a series of documentaries on their effort!
  • Team Synergy Moon posted about the Ruđer Bošković Institute!
