"NASA's Artemis Mission: Colorado Company's Concept Lunar Vehicle Selected for Moon Mobility"
TL;DR Summary
NASA has selected Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab to develop lunar terrain vehicles (LTV) for potential use in the upcoming Artemis missions, with one eventually being chosen for a demonstration mission on the moon's south pole. The selected vehicle will need to function as both a crewed and uncrewed vehicle, with potential lunar service contracts through 2039 amounting to a potential value of up to $4.6 billion. The companies will be developing LTVs called Moon Racer, Flex, and Lunar Dawn, all designed to support a crew of two astronauts and withstand the extreme conditions of the lunar south pole.
