What a month! 🚀 From the roar of F1 to the roar of jet engines at Avalon, and wrapping up with the rover action at the Australian Rover Challenge… Roo-ver’s been busy!   We showcased our prototype of Australia’s first lunar rover to racing fans, aviation enthusiasts, students, and curious minds of all ages. Whether it was kids trying out our rover driving station at the F1 Innovation Hub, meeting Roo-ver at the Avalon Airshow, or chatting with future space engineers at the Australian Rover Challenge in Adelaide, we’ve loved sharing the journey.   Thanks to everyone who came by, asked a question, tested their skills, or just stopped to say g’day.   Keep an eye out for future opportunities to say g’day to Roo-ver!   #Moon #Rover #ROOver #GDayMoon #MoonToMars #ELO2 #Space #SpaceInnovation #AustralianMade EPE.

We’re back at the Australian Rover Challenge!   Our prototype for Roo-ver, Australia’s first lunar rover, is returning to #ARCh2025 in Adelaide, and so is our team.   As proud sponsors of the challenge, we’re excited to support the next generation of space innovators. Throughout the event, student teams and attendees will have the chance to meet our engineers, ask questions, and see Roo-ver in action as we demonstrate some of the rover’s capabilities.   We’re looking forward to connecting with future space engineers and sharing what it’s like to design, test and build technology for the lunar surface right here in Australia.   #Moon #Rover #ROOver #GDayMoon #MoonToMars #ELO2 #Space #SpaceInnovation #AustralianMade EPE.

Say G'Day to Roo-ver at #Avalon2025! We’ll be showcasing our prototype of Australia’s first lunar rover at the #AvalonAirshow this week at the Australian Space Agency stand. Our engineers will be on the ground sharing insights into how we’re designing technology for the Moon right here in Australia.   Whether you're into robotics, space, or just curious about what it takes to build a rover for the harsh conditions of space, drop by and say hello - and have your photo taken with Roo-ver!   #Moon #Rover #ROOver #GDayMoon #MoonToMars #ELO2 #Space #SpaceInnovation #AustralianMade EPE.

We’re making history! The ELO₂ Consortium—co-led by EPE Oceania and Lunar Outpost Oceania—has just been selected by the Australian Space Agency to build Australia’s first lunar rover, nicknamed "Roo-ver." This $42 million national project will harness the innovation and expertise of universities, SMEs, and industry partners from every corner of Australia to design, manufacture, and operate the rover right here at home. This milestone showcases Australian ingenuity on the global stage, sparks new jobs and research opportunities in the growing space industry, and strengthens our contribution to NASA’s Artemis Program, with “Roo-ver” set to be remotely operated on the Moon from Australia. Stay tuned as we embark on this once-in-a-lifetime mission to put an Aussie-made rover on the lunar surface and usher in a new era of national space leadership! Thanks for our great partners in the mission together: EPE.
