Two of the teams competing in the Google Lunar X Prize competition have agreed to share a ride to the Moon next year. The Japanese team, HAKUTO, announced today that Indian group Team Indus will carry its four-wheeled lunar rover to the Moon’s surface. Team Indus announced this month that its spacecraft — a lunar lander and rover combo — is slated to ride on a PSLV rocket, a proven vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organization. HAKUTO’s rover will ride to space on the lander Team Indus is developing.“THIS IS A GREAT DEMONSTRATION OF TEAMS COMING TOGETHER.”The ride-share agreement and launch contracts have been officially verified by X Prize, which means HAKUTO can move forward in the competition. “We’re proud to verify HAKUTO’s launch agreement and are pleased to see two Google Lunar X Prize teams collaborating on this mission to the Moon,” Chanda Gonzales-Mowrer, a senior director at Google Lunar X Prize, said in a statement. “The purpose of this prize was, in part, to foster collaboration in the private sector and this is a great demonstration of teams coming together in the next giant leap in space exploration.”

The company is rapidly progressing towards launch aboard the ISRO PSLV confirmed for early Q2 2017
When is your next launch aboard India’s PSLV rocket?Blake: In May.With the first pair of your BlackSky optical imaging satellites?Blake: No, there’s another one in July with Blacksky on it.What does the U.S. government tell you about a launching on the PSLV?Andrews: We can get waivers from the general restriction. There’s some flexibility now because people are starting to recognize that PSLV pricing is at, or higher than, U.S. launch prices. So the whole fear of dumping is unfounded.Wouldn’t someone need to know a lot about PSLV’s cost structure to call it dumping?Andrews: What we need to know is that they are not going below U.S. prices. I mean, if they were dumping it would have to be under some reference.So you launch in May and then in July on PSLV?Andrews: Yes, and then a launch in September.
