Lupek

Craft Information - Traveling Outbound to W3

Lupek is a rover that will someday be deployed to Mun. It is the KSA's first rover and the team developing it has worked up some automated driving software to allow it to drive itself around. The software has already managed to get Lupek over 600km in previous drives, and now the team has turned the rover loose across Kerbin with a full suite of instruments and sensors as it will be equipped when roving around Mun. Previously the rover traveled with a pace vehicle alongside for fast code patches and better monitoring, but now the rover is completely on its own.

Clean run hopes have been dashed already when Lupek aborted a small slope, although after backing down the team let it have another go and it topped the slope okay on its second try with no drive parameter tweaks. It is now on its way to W3.
