The Earthrise Space Foundation was founded in 2007**** by Ruben David Nunez who is the CEO and founder of the company. The company was created as a means of participating the the Google Lunar XPRIZE. The purpose of the foundation is to provide students with hands on experience within the fields of engineering and business. In addition to employing many interns who are responsible for the construction of the lunar rover, they are a pioneer of the technical entrepreneurial program which aims to give business minded engineers the best of both worlds. This program gives engineers experience with business practices such as accounting skills, handling basic finances, and overseeing engineering tasks as well. This is the companies website.
