Part of NASA’s CADRE technology demonstration, three small rovers that will explore the Moon together show off their ability to drive as a team autonomously – without explicit commands from engineers – during a test in a clean room at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in December 2023.

Behind the three rovers are the situational awareness camera assembly, one of the deployers that will lower the rovers onto the lunar surface, and the base station.

Such testing confirms that the operation of the electronic subsystems do not interfere with each other nor with those on the lander.

These tests confirmed the project’s hardware and software can work together to accomplish key goals. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
