The UAE Moon Mission will send a 10-kilogram rover belonging to the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center, the UAE space agency, to an equatorial location on the near side of the Moon. Meanwhile, the final landing site has yet to be announced.
The four-wheeled rover robot will study its environment for at least 14 Earth days using high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging, microscopic imaging, and the Langmuir probe.
The rover’s instruments could help scientists better understand the electrically charged environment on the lunar surface, which appears to be caused by solar winds.
