PLACEHOLDER DATE May 2021, Lunar Outpost announces our first Lunar Rover is headed to the lunar South Pole in 2023. The Lunar Outpost line of Rovers provides humanity access to other planetary bodies, including the Moon and Mars. This first mission is fully commercial, funded by Lunar Outpost and through commercial partnerships with Intuitive Machines, Nokia, MIT, NASA, ISA, LSA and others.
This mission was enabled by notable technological advancements that drove the cost of planetary rovers down by orders of magnitude enabling commercial partners to self-fund and utilize Public Private Partnerships to book payload space on the Lunar Outpost MAPP rover.
Mission Overview
Lunar Outpost, will have the first commercial rover on the Moon in human history and the first rover ever at the lunar South Pole. This provides an opportunity for us to explore where no one has ever gone while collecting critical data that will enable NASA Artemis and ESA astronauts to explore the Moon starting in 2025.
The South Pole of the Moon is seen as one of the most strategically valuable locations in our Solar System. Rich with resources and home to Peak's of Eternal Light; this location is seen as an ideal spot for astronauts to visit and one day live.
Bottom Line: Lunar Outpost will design, build, test and launch a rover to the Moon in record time and for orders of magnitude less cost than anyone else can provide. The Lunar Outpost Rover lineup is a game-changing technology that enables the future of the space economy.
The Lunar Outpost rover will be launching in 2023, and once the Mission is complete Lunar Outpost along with its commercial and government partners will analyze the data collected throughout the mission.
The data will include thermal, radiation, geologic, prospecting, visual, mapping, and communications. This data is critically important to planning lunar surface missions for NASA and ESA astronauts to ensure their safety and mission success.
