Lupek Testbed

Craft Information - Traveling to W1

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. The software has already managed to get Lupek over 260km in previous drives, and now the team has some new code to test in Lupek's slope avoidance routines. Previously, an aborted slope ascent resulted in the rover tumbling uncontrolled backwards down the slope. As before, a crew vehicle will pace the rover as it drives autonomously.

The drive has begun and Lupek is currently traversing to the first waypoint, W1.
