NASA 's VIPER lunar rover has successfully completed all of its pre-launch tests.

NASA intends to terminate the mission even though it is completely built because of concerns about potential future cost overruns.

NASA invited other organizations to submit proposals to take over the program as long as there is no further cost to the agency.

VIPER is designed to roam around the lunar South Pole for 100 days searching for water ice.
