• Astraeus is a small-scale prototype, not a full-sized exploration rover. 

​

• Astraeus will use basic sensors and components instead of advanced space-grade instruments.

​

• Instead of full AI-based autonomous navigation, Astraeus implement basic obstacle avoidance/waypoint-following system.

​

• Astraeus is designed for short-duration testing, rather than extended space missions.

​

• Astraeus cannot connect to NASA's deep space network, so Wi-fi will be used for data logging.

​

• All testing will be preformed and demonstrated within a 10' by 10' area.
