Australia has committed to develop a 20-kilogram semi-autonomous lunar rover for NASA, which will travel to the Moon in quest of oxygen as early as 2026.
Oxygen recovered from the lunar surface would eventually be utilised to support future expeditions to Mars and to sustain a human presence on the moon.
The agreement on this mission between the Australian and US Space Agencies will strengthen a space exploration connection with Australia that extends back more than 50 years.
