Lupek

Craft Information - Traveling to W7

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 450km 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.

Although it had trouble rolling through W5, Lupek's approach to W6 was handled perfectly and the rover automatically oriented itself and continued the drive towards its final waypoint, W7. The team is considering the unfortunate possibility that the flaw may be at the hardware level.
