Roo-ver Round-Up kicks off on November 12

Join us at the first in a new webinar series

Your ticket to the Moon is coming.

The Roo-ver Mission is launching its new webinar series, open to all: the Roo-ver Round-Up. It all kicks off at 12pm AEDT on Wednesday, November 12.  

This one-hour webinar, held every two months, will allow the Australian public to step inside the minds of the engineers, scientists, and researchers delivering Australia’s first lunar rover.

Hosted by the ELO₂ Consortium – who are delivering Roo-ver in partnership with the Australian Space Agency – the Roo-ver Round-Up is suitable for anyone from high school age upwards.

If you’ve ever wondered how a rover stays powered up, survives the brutal temperatures on the Moon, or stays on track in a low-gravity environment – this webinar is your chance to find out.

You’ll hear:

•         Technical update – learn about the engineering challenges we’re taking on as the Mission develops.

•         Project update – the major Mission milestones that get us closer to launching, and how technology created for Roo-ver could find its way to Earth.

•         Spotlight presentations from across the ELO₂ Consortium – think top universities, robotics companies, and space education specialists.

You’ll also have the chance to dive deeper in a question and answer session at the close of the webinar.

The Roo-ver Mission is Australia’s first lunar rover mission. Roo-ver will travel 384,000 kilometres to the Moon on a NASA mission around the end of the decade, as part of Australia’s contribution to the Artemis program.

Roo-ver will be designed and built in Australia, and operated remotely from Australia for one lunar day, or around 14 Earth days. It will examine lunar regolith and demonstrate foundation services – services that will help create a sustainable human presence on the Moon.
