Considering the recent developments, placing the focus the sustainable exploration of the Moon, the Conference will provide a unique opportunity to link and engage scientists, industry experts and decision-makers in a discussion on the opportunities and challenges for lunar science, technology for exploration and lunar payload accommodation prospects. The event will include a live demonstration of the robotic platform LUVMI – a lightweight rover designed to provide mobility to scientific payloads and explore Lunar resources. The LUVMI Project is implemented by a consortium of European entities with the financial assistance of Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Commission.
