The “To Boldly Go Rover” is a compact rover designed to go to the moon and take samples of the surface and store them in a compartment, and also can stream video clips to NASA. The rover is designed to be a powerhouse of strength, durability, and functionality, paving the way for the next major discovery that will revolutionize our lives. It is completely solar powered, so it will never need to be resupplied for more electrical power, so it has no end to its self-sustained life cycle. It is designed to be durable so that it can keep gathering information through moonquakes and other events which would normally cause catastrophic damage and possibly render a rover inoperable. There is also a distance and motion sensor to sense if it is about to drive into an object or fall into a crater, further increasing the life cycle of the rover.
