Expo displays progress toward Google Lunar X Prize
A crowd of more than 150 students and faculty packed a lunar expo Thursday in Carnegie Mellon's Planetary Robotics Lab that showcased the progress achieved toward winning the Google Lunar X Prize and creating a sustainable series of exploration missions. The Astrobotic-led mission relies on the experience and technical prowess of the university's Robotics Institute and the inspirations under development by the university's Moon Arts group.

One table at the expo displayed robot parts created at the university using composite materials; at top center is the project's vacuum chamber.
