There are groundbreaking plans for Australia to send a semi-autonomous rover to the moon.

The Brisbane-based company, E-P-E Oceania, is co-leading the development of the rover alongside NASA and the Australian Space Agency.

The Head of Australia's Space Agency Enrico Palermo told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, 'today's a historic step for the nation. We are one step closer to seeing a little Aussie rover on the surface of the moon and this is something that is truly inspiring the nation.'

'This is the first time Australia is going to develop its own machine, a robot, that will go to another surface of a body in our solar system and that's a pivotal moment for the Australian space sector.'
