Honda and Astrobotic team up to keep the lights on through the long lunar night; plus, the UK government bailed out Jaguar Land Rover

Automotive giant Honda and lunar startup Astrobotic are teaming up to explore how a regenerative fuel cell system could help keep the lights on during long nights on the Moon. On Monday, the companies partnered up to study whether Honda’s regenerative fuel cell can be integrated into Astrobotic’s LunaGrid, a scalable power service built around solar arrays. The two will conduct “illumination studies” at potential lunar south pole landing sites, and evaluate system scalability as well as hardware and software integration.

Also, the U.K. government has confirmed it will guarantee a commercial bank loan of one and half billion pounds, which is equivalent to two billion dollars for carmaking giant Jaguar Land Rover after a hack forced the company to shut down its carmaking production lines and left downstream suppliers at risk of bankruptcy.
