VIPER will be NASA's first robotic Moon rover. It will embark on a mission to the lunar South Pole region to trek into permanently shadowed areas and unravel the mysteries of the Moon's water. VIPER will be the first rover to measure the location and concentration of water ice and other resources. These resources could eventually be harvested to sustain human exploration on the Moon, Mars — and beyond!
The deadline has passed to submit your name to fly to the Moon aboard NASA's VIPER. However, there are still ways to stay involved! Visit the VIPER webpage for the latest mission updates, or sign up for the newsletter to receive NASA updates in your inbox.
