NASA has chosen Astrolab and Lunar Outpost to develop lunar terrain vehicles that will support the agency"s Moon Base program, with deployment planned ahead of the Artemis 4 crew arrival in 2027. The selection marks a significant step towards establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon.
NASA has announced a three-phase plan to develop a lunar base over the next decade, with a budget exceeding $30 billion, involving collaborations with multiple private companies and leveraging various spacecraft and landers. The effort aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon by 2027.
NASA has awarded contracts to several private companies, including Blue Origin, Astrolab, and Firefly Aerospace, as part of its plan to establish a sustained presence on the Moon, with a total investment of nearly $1 billion. The missions, scheduled to begin in 2026, will include the deployment of lunar terrain vehicles, lunar landers, and drones to the Moon's surface.
Lunar Outpost has secured $30 million in funding to develop the Pegasus rover, aiming to launch it in 2028 as part of a broader effort to create an ecosystem of infrastructure on the moon. This initiative marks a significant step forward in lunar exploration and development.
Lunar Outpost"s Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform (MAPP) rover will be the first robotic rover to operate on the moon alongside astronauts during the Artemis IV mission in 2028, supporting the DUSTER investigation to study the dust and plasma environment on the lunar surface. The mission aims to find solutions to the challenges posed by dust on the lunar surface, marking a significant step in NASA"s Artemis program.
