Description: This challenge seeks proposals of packaged small payloads that can be integrated on miniaturized mobile platforms that enable lunar exploration or in-situ resource utilization. The intent of this challenge is to gather a list of miniaturized payloads/hardware for small lunar rovers for technology demonstration missions on the lunar surface.
In the previous Honey, I Shrunk the NASA Payload Challenge, 14 teams were recognized and awarded for their insightful and creative approaches to developing miniature payloads that will help collect information about the lunar environment and potential lunar resources. This challenge offers those winning teams the opportunity to vie for up to $800,000 in development funds and prizes. There will be an opportunity for teams to build out their ranks and fill in missing areas of expertise. Additionally, in order to help teams be as successful as possible, both phases will include opportunities for NASA to review team plans and/or their progress and to provide specific, individual feedback. This challenge seeks proposals of packaged small payloads that can be integrated on miniaturized mobile platforms that enable lunar exploration or in-situ resource utilization. The intent of this challenge is to gather a list of miniaturized payloads/hardware for small lunar rovers for technology demonstration missions on the lunar surface.
