NASA, Artemis again within the scope of his duty to go to the moon They prepare, but this time they plan to be more permanent. Since there is frozen water on the south pole of our planet’s moon, NASA wants to establish a base in this region and use this base in the future for human travel to Mars and build vehicles for use on the lunar surface.

NASA will now be able to produce the vehicle that will be used on the lunar surface three potential candidates certain. Intuitive machines, Moon outpost And Venturi astrolabewill design vehicles that will meet various conditions for lunar surface vehicle studies, the value of which could reach $4.6 billion in 13 years.

All three companies will design their own vehicles

LTV (lunar terrain vehicle) All three companies selected to develop will design their own vehicles. All three designs are to be developed to carry two fully equipped astronauts. There are also several on these vehicles robotic controlsThere must be systems that allow remote control. This way, NASA will be able to continue its work even if no astronaut is active on the moon’s surface.

Then companies To meet NASA design requirements enter a one-year period during which they will conduct feasibility studies. Afterwards, NASA will receive offers from companies for the test mission. Before the Artemis V mission, companies will prove their competence and the vehicles will be sent to the lunar surface.

Vehicles on the lunar surface Reaching places that are normally inaccessible and will be used to continue research autonomously when no astronauts are around.
