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.
