VIPER rover, yakagadzirirwa kutsvaga chando paSetiraiti yechisikigo yePasi, "ichabatsira kufambisa nzira yekuti vazivi vemuchadenga vabhururuke kuenda kunzvimbo yemwedzi kutanga muna 2024 uye kuunza NASA nhanho imwe padyo nekumisa kuvepo kwenguva refu paMwedzi sechikamu chechirongwa cheArtemis chesangano," iyo US space agency yakati.
Iyo VIPER mishoni kuMwedzi chikamu cheNASA's Commerce Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) chirongwa, icho chinosimudzira vashandi vebazi rebazi iri kukurumidza kuendesa michina yesainzi uye zvimwe zvinotakura pamusoro pePasi rezvisikwa satellite. Pasi pechibvumirano, Astrobotic ine basa reiyo yakazara VIPER yekuendesa masevhisi, kusanganisira kubatanidzwa neGriffin lander, kuvhurwa kubva kuPasi, uye kumhara pamusoro pemwedzi.
Munguva yebasa rayo remazuva zana-Earth-day, VIPER rover ichafamba makiromita akati wandei, ichishandisa zviridzwa zvayo zvina zviripo zvesainzi kuyedza nharaunda dzakasiyana dzevhu. Zvitatu zvezviridzwa izvi zvakarongwa kuti zviedzwe paMwedzi panguva yeCLPS mishoni muna 2021 uye 2022. Rover ichange iine chibooreso chinokwanisa kupinda mukati memwedzi kusvika pakadzika kusvika mamita matatu (inenge 0,9 m).
"Tiri kuita chimwe chinhu chatisati tambomboita-yekuedza zvishandiso paMwedzi patinenge tichigadzira rover. VIPER uye mitoro yakawanda yatichatumira kumwedzi pamusoro pemakore mashomanana anotevera ichatibatsira kuziva simba guru reMwedzi resayenzi, "akadaro NASA Associate Administrator for Science Thomas Zurbuchen.
