Craft Information - Traveling Outbound to W4
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.
Another issue occurred upon arrival to W3 where Lupek failed to acquire the next waypoint target and went into standby. This has been an intermittent issue the team has been dealing with every single drive and they had hoped it had been handled in the latest code update. Lupek was manually orient towards W4 and the drive continues.
