Advanced Navigation will become the first Australian company to deploy technology to to the moon, in a new bid set to "take all the risk out" of future landings.
The technology uses low-powered laser sensors to determine objects relative to spacecraft—like the moon— and will be integrated in future rocket launches."Typically in the movies when you you see a moon landing in the control centre, everyone will be gritting their teeth because it's quite a risky exercise.
"We will launch on a Space X Falcon nine rocket — 32 minutes after launch we separate and at that point we are basically shot out of a cannon on our way to the moon," Intuitive Machines vice president Tim Crain said.
