$30 million in prizes designed to inspire pioneers to do robotic space transport on a budget. Teams from around the world are well on their way to accomplishing this and ushering in a new era of space frontiers!
To win the grand prize ($20 million), private teams (with no more than 10% in government funding) must:
Land a robot safely on the Moon
Move 500 meters on, above, or below the Moon’s surface; and
Send back HDTV Mooncasts for everyone to enjoy
….And this must all be completed before the December 31st, 2015 deadline! There are other prizes, too, for missions like surviving the lunar night and visiting an Apollo site.
In the spirit of Charles Lindbergh, we want to break open Space the same way he broke open aviation. Join us---as we open up the Moon, and create an epic future in space for all of us!
不过现在也就只剩下 18只队伍了。他们官网上有。 今年11月还有一部讲这个lunar prize的纪录片。 back to the moon，for good.
另外一提，我以前发的那个用气球发射火箭来参加lunar prize的队，ARCA，已经退出了。。
