FNR supported research takes off for the Moon

BACK TO RESEARCH WITH IMPACT: FNR HIGHLIGHTS

In 2019, we wrote a small series of features about Industrial Fellowships involving ispace Europe. One of those features revolved around a small lunar rover, for which researcher Philippe Ludivig developed the tools the operators will use to drive the rover. Now, in January 2025, the small lunar rover is on its way to the Moon to collect Moon dust. Let’s revisit the feature from 2019, featuring researcher Philippe Ludivig.
