Two Google Lunar X Prize teams are going to share a ride to the Moon next year

Two of the teams competing in the Google Lunar X Prize competition have agreed to share a ride to the Moon next year. The Japanese team, HAKUTO, announced today that it will use the same rocket as the Indian group Team Indus to get its four-wheeled lunar rover to the Moon’s surface. Team Indus announced last month that its spacecraft— a lunar lander and rover combo — is slated to ride on a PSLV rocket, a proven vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organization.
