Title: A Robotic Expedition for Mass Interation on the Moon
Summary / Review : This paper discusses the LunaCorp robot project which is also covered on the WWW, and at length in the report which PERMANENT does not have, entitled "Design of a Day/Night Lunar Rover", Technical Report, CMU-RI-TR-95-24, by Carnegie Mellon Univ., June 1995, by Whittaker et al. From the abstract of this paper: "... This mission is an expected precursor to a series of increasingly capable robotic devices and missions leading to a permanent presence on the moon. The mission is an expedition to five historic landing sites starting with Apollo 11. Twin rovers launched from a Proton rocket will record geology and visually map the surface during this 1000 km traverse. The general public will have an opportunity to participate through tele-presence, driving and verbal interaction with the rovers..." - MP
