NASA WANTS A BUGGY!

NASA’s going to the Moon and they will need some assistance from America’s auto industry to sort out their mobility hurdles on the lunar surface.

In 2024, NASA’s Artemis program will land the first woman and next man on the Moon to explore the unexplored lunar surfaces with the help of innovative technologies. And for them to navigate on the lunar surface, NASA would like to collaborate with commercial and international partners to establish a sustainable exploration in the next eight years.

NASA issued two separate Requests for Information (RFI) seeking industry approaches for the development of robotic mobility systems and human-class lunar rovers. With these RFIs, NASA seeks to foster an emerging American market of lunar transportation capability by engaging the terrestrial vehicle and robotic communities.
