The Google Lunar XPRIZE (GLXP) sometimes referred to as Moon 2.0 is a space competition organized by the X Prize Foundation and sponsored by Google. It was announced at the Wired Nextfest on 13 September 2007. The challenge calls for privately-funded spaceflight teams to compete to successfully launch a robotic spacecraft that can land and travel across the surface of the Moon while sending back to Earth specified images and other data.
