RulesApprox 10x10x10 cm and 1.33 kgWe provide some energy via
solar cells.Communicate directly to Earth or
relay through our lander.Shared canister.Can be active during flight to the
moon.

More RulesYour experiment should not risk the
mission as such or the works of PTS.If you can commercialize your
payload, you can keep the profits.No religious or political messages.No funny but useless things.Your experiment's design and
results have to be open.◦German team + ITAR + Open

Test Program & IntegrationVibration tests.Thermal-vacuum tests.Participate in qualification rounds
(2 milestones, as we currently assume) to make sure your payload complies with the mission requirements.

The power of imperfectionHas it been done before?
Use Ant Colony Optimization!◦No one follows the same path◦An optimal path emerges
Try imperfect copies◦business models◦engineering design
Be intentional and confident!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant#/media/File:Fire_ants_01.jpg
