Lunar Rovers

Lunar exploration is becoming a reality again for the first time since 1972. Astrolab is pioneering new ways to explore and operate on distant planetary bodies, starting with the FLEX rover.

Since astronauts will be working closely with rovers, the operational ergonomics are critical to consider. A multi-day field test evaluation in the Californian desert yielded insights on biomechanics, cognitive ergonomics, human-machine interaction logistics, and safety.
