For the Google X Lunar Prize, Team Italia proposes reliability and costs as driving criteria for the mission design. Therefore high TRL equipments will be preferred to contain the costs, still taking into account advanced solutions – typically technologically refined - to reduce the overall mass. It should be underlined that the goal of the mission is the success; scientific objectives should be read as secondary. A soft landing, achievable thanks to a cluster of dedicated thrusters is preferred. The landing will occur after few days orbiting around the Moon to finalize commissioning operations.

The architecture of the robotic system is under study, or a single big rover (rover 10 kg; devices to host and deploy rover; Support elevator for antennas, TV cameras, rover guidance and tracking (laser) ) & needed Power Supplì Sys., for a total 62kg) or a colony of many robots, light and mobile, with many legs and wheels, able to be compacted in the lander and distributed quickly on the Moon's surface with cameras and sensors support. They will perform 4 actions: preparation of soil for human exploitation; Internet connection on the Moon; special actions for science on the surface; presentation with laser of images Moon – Earth. Every small robot contains locomotion motors, microcameras, nanosensors, microactuators at high efficiency, solar cells and batteries, and a special material body. A prototype is already running in Politecnico di Milano.
