NASA announced Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab will develop a lunar terrain rover for its Artemis lunar explorations.

NASA has selected Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab to develop the lunar terrain rover for its Artemis lunar explorations. All three companies are in the running for task orders with a potential value of $4.6 billion over the next 13 years. The trio will develop their team’s ideas for a Lunar Terrain Vehicle to help astronauts explore the Moon’s south polar region. It’s believed the area contains frozen water, so it makes sense for NASA to set up base camp there.

” Then, NASA will request a proposal for a demonstration mission to continue development, deliver their LTV to the Moon’s surface, then validate performance and safety before the Artemis V mission.
