Set to launch later this year, NASA’s first ever lunar rover, Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER), is nearly complete, with all flight instruments installed. Use the link in our bio to #SendYourName on the rover before Friday, March 15.⁣ ⁣ VIPER will explore Mons Mouton, a flat-topped mountain on the Moon’s South Pole. On its 100-day mission, the rover will search for ice and other resources, helping us prepare for future #Artemis missions on the lunar surface.⁣ ⁣ Image description: An image of VIPER mission team members at work assembling the lunar rover in a clean room.
