The charger displays an LED light to indicate when charging, and turns off when complete. The holder will accommodate varying phone sizes securely in place. The first crewed mission is technically set for 2024, but will likely take place significantly later as various aspects are running behind schedule. The wireless phone charging cupholder has been designed to charge utilising the cup holder space in the central console.

The mission is part of Artemis, America's plan to return humans to the Moon. In terms of the mission's scientific goals, the VIPER team wants to know how frozen water reached the Moon in the first place, how it remained preserved for billions of years, how it escapes and where the water goes now. Solar-powered VIPER comes with a 50-hour battery, is built to withstand extreme temperatures, and can 'crab walk' sideways so that its panels keep pointing toward the Sun to maintain charging. The rover is also faster, topping out at 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Unlike rovers used on Mars, VIPER can be piloted in near real time, because the distance from Earth is much shorter - only around 200,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) or 1.3 light seconds. Its dimensions are similar to a golf cart - five feet by five feet by eight feet (1.5 meters by 1.5 meters by 2.5 meters) and looks somewhat similar to droids seen in Star Wars.

The robot is called Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER. 'The rover is going to get up close and personal with the lunar soil, even drilling several feet down,' said Glazer. It is one of the solar system's coldest regions, and has only so far been probed from afar using sensors such as those aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite.
