Robotic ‘Penguin’ could hop on moon
Raytheon has unveiled an unmanned lunar explorer that borrows parts from its weapons program.

The Lunar Penguin would hop around on the moon using rocket engines from ground-based missile defense systems.

The 3 feet tall, 230 pounds, four-legged robot will be guided by a guidance system from a Tomahawk cruise missile.
