Lunar Surface Analogue Being Built on Earth for Testing & Research

Work has begun on a 100mx100m high-fidelity 3D lunar surface analogue test field that will mimic the topography and optical properties of the Moon’s surface. The test site, called the Lunar Surface Proving Ground (LSPG), is being built by Astrobotic for a variety of test campaigns, from precise lunar landing technologies like LiDAR scanners and navigati…
