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 that needs testing. This stripped-down version of the rover has traveled over 150km from KSC to the west shore desert to stress-test the new software, with a crewed support vehicle that followed close by to monitor and upload code revisions.

After spending a day in the oppressive heat refactoring large amounts of Lupek's drive monitoring and slope avoidance code, the team has finally set Lupek off towards W1 of the drive back home to the KSC. This route home will carry the rover over much steeper terrain, and it is not expected to even reach W4.
