Although Lunar Dawn shared a rendering of its LTV there’s still a lot of work to be done. The group is focused on building a vehicle that will allow Artemis astronauts to safely navigate the lunar surface to conduct experiments and prepare the Moon for future human missions to Mars,. It will feature a reconfigurable cargo bed and robot arm, function at extreme temperatures, and feature autonomous navigation so it can operate with or without humans onboard.
Lunar Outpost will be tasked with the bulk of design and development work as the project’s primary contractor, but each team member will play a vital role in its creation. Lockheed Martin will use its extensive experience crafting to facilitate the production of the vehicle, while General Motors will contribute to the design of the chassis and suspension in addition to providing the LTV’s power source.
