Lupek Testbed

Craft Information - D1 Layover

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. This stripped-down version of the rover will be traveling over 150km from KSC to the west shore desert to stress-test the new software, with a crewed support vehicle following close by to monitor and upload code revisions.

It has just completed a full day's worth of driving, and the team is camping out until tomorrow to continue traveling the remaining 35km after second sunrise. More code review and a check over of the rover itself for mechanical issues will be keeping them busy when they aren't catching some sleep.
