Scientific paper

A robotic precursor mission to the Lunar surface is proposed. The objective of the mission is to place six to ten 15-kg micro-rovers on the planet to investigate equipment left behind during the Apollo missions and to perform other science and exploration duties. The micro-rovers are teleoperated from Earth. All equipment on the rovers is existing technology from NASA, DOE, SDIO, DoD, and industry. The mission is designed to involve several NASA centers, the National Laboratories, multiple universities, and the private sector. A major long-term goal which is addressed is the educational outreach aspect of space exploration.
