In September, Euroluna posted this update of its efforts in the Google Lunar X-PRIZE, describing the use of a Cubesat to launch and test systems that would be used on ROMIT, its lunar craft. In its latest video, however, the idea seems to has evolved and the team speculates about a four unit, or 4U Cubesat, that would incorporate command and control, ion propulsion, descent and roving functions as an alternative to the 30 - 50 kg craft it had originally conceived. President of Euroluna, Palle Haastrup, mocks up the idea after the 6:00 minute mark.
