The Part-Time Scientists is an international team of Scientists and Engineers participating in the first private race to the moon, the Google Lunar X-Prize. Our approach to win this competition is quite unique as everyone involved really is a part-time scientist. In our presentation we will present our latest lunar rover, lander, electronic and communications developments. The presentation will feature: our self developed embedded systems, how we designed radiation hardened and fault tolerant systems, the production of our second rover generation and their first tests, our prototype real world testings, what we've done in 2010, what we've planning for 2011, and a lot more interesting topics! Our presentation will be focused on actual hardware with a rather short introduction to the topic in general.
