Honeybee Robotics has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Astrobotic Technology Inc. of Pittsburgh, PA to develop three payload elements for its rover and another three payload elements for the lander. The payloads include a 50cm drill, jet trencher, regolith excavator, heat flow probe, corner cube reflector, and soil samplers. Astrobotic is planning a mission to the Moon as early as December 2013 as part of the Google Lunar X Prize. In addition to an 80 kg rover, the Astrobotic spacecraft will carry up to 110 kg of payload for space agencies and researchers, potentially including the Honeybee technologies. The spacecraft will be launched on Space X Falcon 9.
