This is a variation of sasa's solution, and would be unique to the Earth's moon. Program each rover to travel to the area on the moon, where the Earth is directly above the rover. If a rover has landed on the dark side of the moon, include a program where the rover would travel in a straight line along the plane of the sun and planets, until the Earth becomes in sight. Once the Earth is in sight, maneuver the rover until the Earth is directly above the rover. The worst case travel time would be where the rover travels (EDIT) about 3/4's the circumference of the moon. |
