NASA's Artemis Crews Receive Cutting-Edge Canoo EVs for Lunar Missions

NASA has acquired a fleet of three all-electric vans designed by EV startup Canoo to transport the Artemis crew, support personnel, and equipment to the launchpad at the Kennedy Space Center. The vans will also be used for astronaut training exercises ahead of the Artemis II mission, which aims to send astronauts around the Moon and back, marking the first crewed mission out of low Earth orbit since 1972. Canoo, which faced funding issues last year, received key contracts from Walmart and the US Army. NASA's creative team had input on the vans' design.
