A joint New Zealand and US聽team working on plans to send a rocket to the moon, say they're on track for a launch by the end of the year.
Florida-based Moon Express has been working with Rocket Lab since 2015.
If the project reaches that goal and achieves a number of tasks on the surface, it would take the $20 million (USD)聽Google Lunar X prize.
Current plans are for the lander to be blasted into orbit on a Rocket Lab Electron.
The lander is about 1.8 metres tall, weighs about 250 kilograms and would fly to the moon in four days.
