Wireless Charging System Testing Continues

A wireless charging system developed by Astrobotic and WiBotic, with assistance from Bosch, the University of Washington (UW), and the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), underwent TVAC (above), vibration, radiation, cryo, and regolith testing. The data collected during this testing will guide system improvements, with the next iteration scheduled for construction and qualification by the end of the year. When on the lunar surface, the wireless charging system would deliver power from a LunaGrid node to power rovers, habitats, in-situ resource utilization plants, and other large surface infrastructure to survive the lunar night.
