Lobotiyi imayesedwa pamalo oyesera apadera omwe amatengera mawonekedwe a mwezi. Mayesero adzakuthandizani kudziwa makhalidwe monga kugwedeza kwa gudumu pansi, kuchuluka kwa mphamvu zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pochita zinthu zina, ndi zina zotero.
Kutumiza rover ku Mwezi kukukonzekera kumapeto kwa 2022. Chipangizocho chidzakhala ndi spectrometer ya NSS (Neutron Spectrometer System) kuti ifufuze madzi oundana pansi. Woyendetsa amatha kubowola m'nthaka kuti atole zitsanzo ndikuzisanthula pogwiritsa ntchito zida zapa board.
Deta yosonkhanitsidwa idzakhala yothandiza pokonzekera maulendo oyendera mwezi. Kuphatikiza apo, zomwe zapezedwa zithandizira kusankha malo oyenera kukhala maziko amtsogolo pa satana yachilengedwe ya dziko lathu lapansi.
