In order to find the best way, the robot needs early on soil viscosity and the ability to find the right size of gravel particles prior to investigation." </ P> <P> Whittaker .The goal is to develop a technology company first celestial lunar robot. .This robot could win Google2000 million X-PRIZE, as it may once again visit the Apollo 11 landing site, and return to Earth high-resolution video. .They are expected to launch in December 2010 and has been observed for several months in the simulation. .NASA moon lunar robotic missions will be the implementation of several robots and most technologically advanced. .NASA said that the future of human space exploration will depend on the robot hand in hand, manned and unmanned spacecraft will be straight to the moon, Mars, and even into the more distant space. .</ P> </ p>.
