Synergy Moon is one of five teams, out of an original 33 entrants, competing for the Google Lunar X Prize—a challenge to land the first privately-funded rover on the Moon.
Competition guidelines require the rover to travel 500 metres and transmit images, video, data, an sms and an email back to Earth.
Teams have until 31 December 2017 to launch their missions.
With working groups on in over 15 countries and on 6 continents, Team Synergy Moon promotes international cooperation in space exploration and development.
Team Synergy Moon was formed in 2010 when Kevin Myrick, founder and CEO of InterPlanetary Ventures, and Nebojša Stanojević, founder of The Human Synergy Moon Project, decided to merge their ventures and partner with Interorbital Systems to create a single entrant for the Google Lunar X Prize.
Team Synergy Moon received verification of its launch agreement from the X Prize Foundation on August 30, 2016.
In December 2016 Google Lunar X Prize entrants Team Stellar (Croatia / Australia), Team Omega Envoy (USA), Team Space META (Brasil) and Team Independence-X (Malaysia) partnered with Team Synergy Moon to become Synergy Space Explorers
Team Synergy Moon plans to use an Interorbital Systems Neptune N-8 LUNA launch vehicle to deploy its Tesla Surveyor rover on the surface of the Moon during the second half of 2017. The launch is planned from an open-ocean location off the California coast.
