Robot to Install Telescopes on Moon
NASA Funded Project
Telescopes to Look Deep Into the Universe
A NASA funded lab at the University of Colorado is developing robots to deploy small, highly advanced telescopes on the far side of the Moon. In the next ten years, the NASA team will send a rover aboard a lunar lander spacecraft and place it on the dark, far side of the Moon.
Humans & Machines Working Together
The plan is to set-up a network of small telescopes. The deployment will be performed by the rover's robotic arm. The arm will be controlled by astronauts in an orbiting lunar station called Gateway. Gateway will serve as transit to and from the Moon and as a refueling station for deep space missions.
New Telescopic Views of Deep Space
On the far side of the Moon, the telescope will be free of light and noise. That will enable a unique and pristine gaze into the deep reaches of space. It's a leading edge example of projects underway by NASA, private companies like Space X and other nations. These missions will open up and change the landscape of the Moon forever.
