On November 21, Toronto-based STELLS unveiled its plans to develop a Mobile Power Rover, a rover that will generate energy from its solar panels and can transmit it wirelessly to other vehicles on the moon’s surface. Its MSL-1 rover is scheduled to launch by 2025 as a payload on the Intuitive Machines lander to the southern polar regions of the Moon.
The rover will transmit energy using wireless technology, moving to the customer’s vehicle. Another approach is to leave a wireless charger in the crater, and then force the rover to come out of the crater into sunlight, which will allow it to generate energy and transmit it via cable to this charger, to which other vehicles will move.
