Gearing for a joint mission by 2020, Japan hopes to have human and robot astronauts travel in harmony for moon exploration. When all the other nations are enthusiastic to get their human representatives on the moon, Japan intends to twist the tale by sending a two-legged walking humanoid robot instead.
The budget and the technologies required to set the project in pace will be finalized within the next two years, while developing a lunar robot remains a chief challenge for Japan’s space strategy. The government group that lays plans for robot astronauts also has intentions of putting out military and research satellites to detect ballistic missile launches, and also have satellites to predict and monitor natural disasters. Doubting least the Japanese credentials, we know they will pull off the trick.
