US-based startup Esther Willeb said its Flex moon rover will launch in early 2026, although SpaceX has not yet completed testing the starship in orbit. Ester Willeb has described Flex as "the largest and most capable rover ever to go to the Moon, and it is planned to be developed for future Mars missions." Once completed, it will be able to transport two astronauts and equipment across the lunar surface at speeds of up to 24 kilometers per hour (15 mph), as well as operate a robotic arm. "We have built a logistics system that can handle a wide variety of goods," said Jarrett Matthews, chief executive of Esterville. We hope that this will help build a permanent CHU on the Moon, at a cost and time that is less than previously thought.
Will be. Easter has already begun testing a ground prototype of the Willeb Flex rover, which shuttles crew and equipment across a lunar surface-like environment in the California desert. Tests for Starship are also underway and the first R-Battle is expected to launch later this month. The launch is pending approval from aviation regulators. A spokesperson for the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed to The Independent that SpaceX has not yet been granted a license to launch the Starship into orbit. SpaceX has already successfully tested prototype high-altitude flights on starships, although many of the early experiments ended in explosions.It happened.
Measuring 120 meters above its booster, the starship will be the largest rocket ever built. SpaceX plans to develop a reusable rocket system to establish a human colony on Mars. "Starship is designed to carry large amounts of cargo, including rovers, for research on the Moon and Mars," said Nam O'Chennai, senior vice president of SpaceX's commercial division. Building sustainable outposts would require supplies to the Moon and surface transportation, such as the Easter Willow provides. We're the Easter Willie team
are looking to work together to get their Flex rover to the surface of the Moon.” Ester Willeb hopes to be part of any future plans to colonize Mars. The company plans to deploy its fleet of flex rovers to both the Moon and the Red Planet.
