Chaucer Consulting has been selected as
the business program project manager for the preparatory stage of the
Lunar Mission One initiative. Lunar Mission One will send an unmanned
robotic landing module to the South Pole of the Moon - an area
unexplored by previous missions. Chaucer's initial role for the
mission is to advise, shape and enable the overall program during the
next six months.
The mission will use pioneering
technology to drill down to a depth of at least 20 meters - 10 times
deeper than has ever been drilled before - and potentially as deep as
100 meters. “This will provide access to lunar rock dating back up
to 4.5 billion years to discover the geological composition of the
Moon, the ancient relationship it shares with our planet and the
effects of asteroid bombardment," Chaucer said in a company press
release. “Ultimately, the project will improve scientific
understanding of the early solar system, the formation of our planet
and the Moon, and the conditions that initiated life on Earth.”
"The Lunar Mission One project's
progress will depend on the initial scoping and delivery of this
preliminary stage,” said Chris Laslett, Chaucer Global CEO.
Lunar Mission One is being run by Lunar
Missions Ltd, its operating company, to which
Chaucer will report.
Chaucer will report.
