JAXA and Toyota ( JAXA ) have signed a three-year joint research agreement to develop prototype fuel cell rovers for a lunar mission slated for three-year . The first year of the partnership will focus on identifying technical requirements and drawing up specifications, while subsequent years will cover building and testing the prototype ahead of potential production. It would have a total seating capacity of two people, with the option to carry as many as four if there’s an emergency need to do so. The collaboration, originally announced in The first year , is part of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency 's broader lunar exploration programme.
