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.

After stopping for the last night cycle, the team is now allowing Lupek to continue its drive to W3, which it atop a 3km high mountain. At some point along the way the rover will encounter a slope that is too steep and hopefully will back down to level ground in a controlled manner this time.
