(NASA) – An engineer prepares a small rover part of NASA’s CADRE technology demonstration that’s headed to the Moon for testing in a thermal vacuum chamber at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California in October 2023.

The CADRE project is developing a network of small rovers that will work together to explore the Moon in an experiment to demonstrate new technology.

Communicating via mesh network radios with each other and a base station aboard a lunar lander, the rovers will be largely autonomous, making decisions and acting without the need for constant human intervention.
