India, Russia squeeze Google Moon racers

Privately funded teams competing in the Google Lunar X Prize, an international space race to land a rover on the Moon, are not happy at a proposed rule change to reduce the US$20 million grand prize by $5 million if a government-backed project succeeds first. It is no secret that many governments are planning lunar missions, and the joint Russian-Indian project Chandrayaan-2 is set to land as early as 2012. - Peter J Brown (Aug 11, 2010)

According to the original set of GLXP rules, the grand prize would be awarded to the GLXP team that first landed a rover on the Moon and which was able to travel at least 500 meters while simultaneously transmitting data and video - a live high-definition TV signal - back to Earth. The deadline was December 31, 2012. If that objective was not achieved, a GLXP team could still win a reduced grand prize of $15 million if it fulfilled all requirements by December 2014.
