US space agency NASA has revealed the tiny Moon rovers that will be sent to map the lunar surface ahead of a manned mission.
Three of the autonomous miniature bots are set to launch in 2024 to deploy cameras and ground-penetrating radar to create a 3D map of the celestial satellite.
The suitcase-sized machines are due to arrive at the moon aboard a lander and be be lowered onto using tethers.
Each of the four-wheeled vehicles will then drive to find a sunbathing spot, where they'll open their solar panels and charge up.
Once this has been completed, the bots will spend a full lunar day – about 14 Earth days – carrying out experiments designed to test their capabilities.
The rovers are part of NASA's Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration project called CADRE for short.
They will betake instructions from a base station aboard their lander .
The robots will then choose a leader which in turn will distribute work assignments to accomplish the collective goal.
