LUVMI-M rover
Enabling surface mobility, payload delivery, and autonomous operations on the Moon.
Our lunar rover is designed to support scientific and commercial activities on the Moon by delivering and operating payloads directly on the surface. It provides mobility, power, and data capabilities for a wide range of applications, from environmental sensing to technology validation.
Payload Service
Organizations can reserve dedicated space on our rover to deploy instruments, technologies, or experiments. We handle payload integration, transport, and surface deployment, enabling direct access to the lunar environment.

NAVIGATION
The LUVMI-M rover navigates with a combination of on-board autonomy and teleoperations. Stereo cameras provide a 3D map of the lunar surface, and hazard detection cameras allow for efficient and safe driving. At mission control, waypoint planning and payload data monitoring are coordinated based on Yamcs framework.
MOBILITY
Building on rover heritage since 2016, the LUVMI rover family has extensive heritage in representative tests on lunar regolith analogues. LUVMI-M has a top speed of 5 cm/s and can traverse slopes of up to 15 degrees. A traverse of multiple kilometers and many payload sites of interest is baselined for each LUVMI-M mission.
