Hadley Rille

5 hours · 5 applicants this week

The International Geological Survey is building a complete photographic record of Hadley Rille's wall strata. Section D (depths 100-200m) needs documentation. Rappel Canyon Diver down the wall, pausing every 10 meters to capture detailed photographs of the exposed rock layers. Each layer tells a different chapter of the Moon's volcanic history. Identify any color changes, crystal formations, or layer boundaries. This is the kind of work that would take a human geologist months , but you can do it in a single session.

Schools around the world book 'Lunar Field Trips' where a classroom watches a live Explorer feed from Hadley Rille. But kids don't want to watch in silence , they want someone to talk to. As a classroom host, you join a video call with 20-30 students, share your screen showing the Explorer's live camera, and lead them through the experience. Answer their questions ('Can the robot jump?', 'Is there really no sound?', 'How deep is that canyon?'), run simple quizzes, and make it interactive. Teachers love it because you handle the engagement while they manage the classroom. No teaching degree required , just energy, patience with kids, and basic knowledge from our training guide.

Every month, hundreds of operators submit their best photographs taken during Hadley Rille missions. Someone needs to judge them. Review 200-300 photo submissions, rate them on composition, lighting, subject interest, and emotional impact, and select a top 10 plus an overall winner. Write brief feedback for the top 20 entries. Winners get featured on the homepage and receive credit for future missions. Robots capture the images, but only a human can judge what makes a photograph beautiful. Photography experience is helpful but not required , we want diverse aesthetic perspectives.

Hadley Rille is the lunar Grand Canyon , 130 km long and 300 meters deep, carved by rivers of molten lava 3.3 billion years ago. Your Explorer follows a scenic route along the rim, stopping at viewpoints where you can peer down into the abyss. See exposed rock layers in the canyon walls , each one a chapter in the Moon's volcanic history. Visit the area where Apollo 15 astronauts explored in 1971 and spot their rover tracks, still perfectly preserved. The scale of this canyon is impossible to convey in photos , you have to see it yourself.

Not for the faint of heart. Take control of Canyon Diver and rappel straight down the 300-meter canyon wall. Watch the rim shrink above you as you descend past billions of years of exposed rock layers. At the bottom, drive along the rille floor , a place only Explorers have ever been. The canyon walls tower above you on both sides. Explore for 30 minutes on the floor, then ascend back up. The descent takes nerve , you're controlling a rappelling Explorer down a cliff face on the Moon with a 1.3-second signal delay. Thrilling and unforgettable.

This is the most extreme activity on the Moon. Your Explorer drives to a launch ramp on the edge of Hadley Rille and jumps off the rim into the 300-meter abyss. In 1/6th gravity, the free-fall lasts approximately 19 seconds , an eternity of weightless falling with canyon walls streaking past on both sides. Retro-thrusters fire automatically in the final 50 meters for a soft landing on the canyon floor. The onboard cameras capture everything: the launch, the stomach-dropping view straight down, the wall rushing past, and the gentle touchdown. Multiple camera angles including helmet-cam POV. Repeat jumps available. Not for the faint of heart , but the Explorer can't actually get hurt.

Stand on one rim of Hadley Rille and throw javelins toward the far wall , 1.5 km away. On Earth, this would be insane. On the Moon, in 1/6th gravity with no air resistance, a good throw actually makes it across. The javelin launches in a long, lazy parabolic arc, floating silently over the 300-meter-deep canyon for over a minute before embedding in the far wall with a puff of regolith dust. A tracking camera follows each javelin's entire flight. You get 10 throws. The goal: land as close to the target marker on the far wall as possible. Distance is easy , accuracy is the challenge. Current closest to center: 2.3 meters.
