Helping humans explore space.

What we do

Mawson Rovers designs and builds robotic vehicles to support sustainable human exploration of space.

NASA and SpaceX are planning to return humans to the Moon's surface from 2025, as part of the Artemis program. This time, we are going back to stay, building a permanent base near the Moon's south pole.

Our vision is to support this next phase of human exploration, by developing robots that help with construction, maintenance and inspection of lunar facilities and infrastructure.

Vehicles

R1 rover
R1

R1 is a 20 kg-class vehicle, approximately 50x50x30cm in size, designed as a terrestrial demonstrator for key technologies in our rover development program.

The vehicle will demonstrate mobility on earth and allow us to develop and test sensors, avionics and actuators for future lunar applications.

R1 also forms part of our bid for the Australian Space Agency's Moon to Mars Trailblazer program, as the first of several technology demonstrators we plan to develop.
