Wonderful news from One Giant Leap Australia Foundation and ELO2 The power of partnerships means that kids from all over Australia will be part of Australia's own Roo-ver to the Moon!

Australia’s Moon mission is shifting from concept to reality. Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic MP has today announced ELO2 to design, build, and operate Roo-ver – our nation’s first lunar rover which will head to the Moon with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration later this decade. This milestone follows an intense 18-month preliminary design process, which has already built upon Australian know-how in robotics, automation and a range of other critical tech areas that are essential to Australia’s future. The Agency also thanks AROSE for its exceptional efforts in the preliminary design phase. Read more http://spklr.io/6045ILbR

We’re making history! The ELO₂ Consortium—co-led by EPE Oceania and Lunar Outpost Oceania—has just been selected by the Australian Space Agency to build Australia’s first lunar rover, nicknamed "Roo-ver." This $42 million national project will harness the innovation and expertise of universities, SMEs, and industry partners from every corner of Australia to design, manufacture, and operate the rover right here at home. This milestone showcases Australian ingenuity on the global stage, sparks new jobs and research opportunities in the growing space industry, and strengthens our contribution to NASA’s Artemis Program, with “Roo-ver” set to be remotely operated on the Moon from Australia. Stay tuned as we embark on this once-in-a-lifetime mission to put an Aussie-made rover on the lunar surface and usher in a new era of national space leadership!
