摘要

The X Prize Foundation awarded more than $5 million in intermediate prizes to five teams competing in the Google Lunar X Prize competition Jan. 26, but those teams' achievements varied widely, even in the same category of the competition. The foundation handed out $5.25 million in "milestone prizes" at a San Francisco ceremony to five of the 18 teams competing in the overall prize competition, rewarding them for progress in key technical areas toward the goal of landing a spacecraft on the surface of the moon. Three teams each won $1 million by demonstrating landing system technologies: Astrobotic of Pittsburgh; Moon Express of Mountain View, California; and Team Indus of Bengaluru, India. Astrobotic, Hakuto of Tokyo, and the multinational team Part-Time Scientists each won $500,000 for their mobility systems. Astrobotic, Moon Express and Part-Time Scientists also won $250,000 each for their imaging systems. The teams were not in competition with one another for the milestone prizes, nor did they have to achieve standardized milestones. Instead, teams submitted proposals in late 2013 of technical goals they planned to achieve in the next year, Andrew Barton, the director of technical operations for the competition, said in a Jan. 28 interview.
