As their rovers explore unknown terrain on the moon's surface, researchers at Carnegie Mellon will watch from the familiar confines of campus, nearly 240,000 miles away.
CMU's Moonshot Mission Control, a new command center in Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science's Gates Center for Computer Science, will provide state-of-the-art equipment to the crews of the Iris Lunar Rover, MoonRanger and future space missions.
Iris is scheduled to fly to the moon this year and will be the smallest, first American, first university-built and first student-built rover on the moon. MoonRanger, the first rover to search for evidence of water on the lunar surface, will explore the south pole after its scheduled flight to the moon in 2023.
