FASTNAV (Multi-range Navigation for Fast Moon Rovers) has developed and demonstrated a navigation solution for rovers capable of reaching speeds of 1 m/s, a new milestone for future Lunar Exploration

Led by GMV and funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) under the General Support Technology Program (GSTP), and supported by the UK Space Agency (UKSA)

This advancement enhances scientific performance and productivity in space exploration missions with significant potential applications in complex terrestrial safety critical environments, such as rescue operations, mining, nuclear and infrastructure monitoring

As is now tradition, a GMV space robot has returned to the Dehesa de Navalvillar to conduct tests for future lunar missions

RAPID is working to explore lunar terrain at never-before-reached speeds to aid future astronauts who will inhabit the surface of our natural satellite.

Rocks with specific mineral types, unique topographies, traces of moisture, and ancient streambeds are the research objectives for our small artificial guest, which will train it for future planetary exploration missions
