The Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) is an unpressurized rover being developed for NASA that astronauts can drive on the Moon while wearing their spacesuits. [1] The development of the LTV is a part of NASA's Artemis program, which involves returning astronauts to the Moon, specifically the lunar south pole, by 2026, but the LTV will not fly until Artemis V in 2030 at the earliest.

Self-driving lunar terrain vehicle is one of three concepts to be developed
It was deployed on the Moon on December 14, 2013, and the rover encountered operational difficulties toward the end of the second lunar day [16] after surviving and recovering successfully the first 14-day lunar night (about a month on the Moon), [17] and was unable to move after the end of the second lunar night, though it continued to gather ...
Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is a NASA program to hire companies to send small robotic landers and rovers to the Moon.Most landing sites are near the lunar south pole [1] [2] where they will scout for lunar resources, test in situ resource utilization (ISRU) concepts, and perform lunar science to support the Artemis lunar program.
The company recently won a $30 million contract from NASA to develop a lunar terrain vehicle that will shuttle Artemis astronauts around on the moon. Intuitive Machines has also developed a Lunar ...
In August 2021, Intuitive Machines selected SpaceX to launch its third lunar mission, IM-3. [3] As of August 2024, the launch of IM-3 is expected to take place no earlier than October 2025. [ 4 ] The lander will conduct experiments investigating the properties of the unexpected magnetic field that has been detected in the vicinity of the Reiner ...
