A day in the life at the VIPER Moon rover clean room with Justin Ridley.
VIPER Vehicle Manager Justin Ridley leads us through the clean room, showing us important elements of the VIPER rover. Justin was responsible for the design and build of the rover’s mast and gimbal assembly, which support the lights, cameras, and antennas.
NASA’s first robotic lunar rover, VIPER, is being built at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The rover will embark on a mission to the lunar South Pole to trek into permanently shadowed areas and unravel the mysteries of the Moon’s water.
