Minmus Taster Posted May 15, 2024 Share Posted May 15, 2024 https://www.nasa.gov/missions/viper/mission-manager-update-viper-rover-approved-to-move-into-environmental-testing/ I don't know about this, Astrobotics didn't even make it to the moon on their other flight and they have a whole new lander for this rover? What do you reckon their odds are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minmus Taster Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 VIPER has been cancelled due to cost concerns, the rover will be either disassembled and it's components used in other projects or sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sounds way way gold plated. For Jupiter it makes sense. For the the moon, fire for effect. Its 3 days away and who care is you loose most. Munition not artifacts.

darthgently Posted July 23, 2024 Share Posted July 23, 2024 Come on, US rocket industry, wake up and smell the coffee! Copy SpaceX shamelessly now or we lose far too much. Cut the fat from your process and get to some real work.
