Team Selene is the first Google Lunar X PRIZE team from China. The team is led by Markus Bindhammer, a German-born inventor who lives in Shanghai. Bindhammer’s goal is to create a team of young and motivated Chinese students or graduates in mathematics, physics and aerospace engineering.

They are exploring the possibility of launching with SpaceX, but will also look into opportunities with Chinese launch providers.
