Project M (NASA)
Project M was a proposed NASA project headed by Stephen J. Altemus, to send a Robonaut to the Moon.[1] This was hoped to be achieved in just 1000 days from the official go ahead. Project M has since been scaled down into Project Morpheus.[2]
A Quad prototype lander has been built in partnership with Armadillo Aerospace.[3]
History
NASA projected the project could have cost less than $200 million. An additional $250 million would have been needed for the launch vehicle. The project could have been accomplished in a thousand days or less once it had been approved. The project would have used a variation of lander developed by Armadillo Aerospace.[1][4]
The June 23rd 2010 flight carried a prototype GENIE (Guidance Embedded Navigator Integration Environment). GENIE was developed to demonstrate fully functional, real-time, GNC (Guidance, Navigation and Control) code in a terrestrial rocket vehicle applicable to landing on the surface of the Moon.[5]
