A logbook records who has visited and the commands that have been issued to the rover. There is also a message window, through which users can send messages to each other.
If more than one user tries to connect at once, the software allows the visitors to take turns, giving control of the rover to one visitor at a time while allowing the other visitors to see through the rover’s camera and send messages to each other while they wait to drive.
T.B.A
Lunar rover control panel.
Exploring the unknown environments is exciting! Visitors explore the Lunar world remotely, running the rover around to see what’s just beyond the field of view, or what’s behind that rock. They may also find out that controlling a rover from thousands of miles away is not as easy as driving a remote controlled car that you can see. From time to time - visitors will be offered challenges: discovering certain rocks, retrieving valuable samples, or safely traversing a rock-strewn plain.
Bareket observatory's diorama
The Lunar Station is intended to give the public a sense of the challenge and excitement of exploring our Moon using robotic rovers. The Lunar tation consists of a small diorama of the Lunar surface containing a robotic rover.
The rover can be controlled from a control panel interface on a computer, either locally or over the Internet.
Drivers are unable to see the rover; they can only see what the rover “sees” through its camera, just as mission scientists experience the Moon through the sensory instruments on the NASA rovers. Kids and adults alike are eager to explore the Lunar environment, moving and turning the rover to see what’s behind (or over) that rock.
If the Lunar rover camera shows a dark frame – it means that there is currently a night at the diorama site.
