A next-generation lunar rover, the Flexible Logistics and Exploration (FLEX) vehicle, has been successfully tested in California s Mojave Desert. Piloted by retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and MIT aerospace graduate student Michelle Lin, the FLEX rover showcased its capabilities, including setting up a vertical solar array. Designed for NASA s Artemis program, FLEX is as fast as Nasa s moon buggy but offers enhanced capabilities, making it adaptable for various tasks including exploration, cargo delivery, and site construction on the moon.
