Talk:Planetary Transportation Systems

Rename site to "Part-Time Scientists"
Could someone please move the site to "Part-Time Scientists"? Our official name has hyphen between "Part" and "Time" and a space between "Time" and "Scientists". It's different from the company name, that reads "Part-Time-Scientists GmbH".Ziegenberg (talk) 22:27, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Please update this page - I'll help!
I am working at PTScientists as Head of Communications and would be very grateful for some help to update our Wikipedia page. I am aware of the conflict of interest rules, and I'm a new Wikipedian, so I don't want to edit the page myself. I can help will content and links though - and hopefully someone can check everything is factual in keeping with Wikipedia rules and update the page?

I'll add new sections on this Talk page (but if that's not correct please don't hesitate to tell me what is best!)

First edit is that Comray and Participant are old and discontinued projects. I spoke to Karsten Becker, Head of Electrical Engineering at PTScientists and he confirmed this. (You'll find no reference to them on our current website ptscientists.com - which is also in the process of being updated)

Many thanks, Radiokate (talk) 14:21, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

PTScientists Key Technology Partners
PTScientists has two Key Technology partners that are helping with their mission. These are German car manufacturer Audi and Vodafone AG

Working with Audi, PTScientists has created the Audi lunar quattro which uses quattro technology to help it on the harsh lunar surface. The Audi lunar quattro has been designed to be as lightweight as possible, and a reduction in weight was achieved by switching to using 3D manufacturing techniques, coupled with Audi's expertise working with Aluminium.

PTScientists will send two Audi lunar quattro Moon rovers to the surface of the Moon, using their Autonomous Navigation and Landing Module (ALINA). They will land in the Taurus-Littrow Valley, returning to the Apollo 17 landing site, where humans last stepped foot on the Moon

The ALINA lunar lander will take the rovers to the Moon from Earth-orbit, and soft-land the two Audi lunar quattro rovers. It will then double-up to become an LTE base-station and provide communications for the rovers. Vodafone has been working with PTScientists to develop the Moon's first communications infrastructure using LTE.

- I can provide a bunch more information and always give you sources. Just let me know how I can help. There is more info on the Audi lunar quattro, ALINA, our new HQ in Berlin - complete with lunar testbed, other mission partners, goals, aims, experiments we're taking to the Moon etc. I can also clarify the position with the GLXP (we're no longer part of it since our launch is not planned until next year and their deadline is 2017), and also give information and links to our involvement in the latest Alien film, Alien Covenant, where the ALQ had a cameo!
