Honda and Astrobotic team up to keep the lights on through the long lunar night
Honda is partnering with Astrobotic to study whether their tech could provide continuous power on the moon.
The companies on Monday partnered up to study whether Honda’s regenerative fuel cell (RFC) can be integrated into Astrobotic’s LunaGrid, a scalable power service built around solar arrays.
