Lunar Outpost is building moon rovers for NASA's Artemis program. The company's first, larger rover, Eagle, is designed to transport astronauts, while the second, Pegasus, is closer to the more compact MAPP-class models: autonomous, modular, and designed for tasks requiring no human intervention. The core idea behind the Lunar Outpost project is that the same wide range of autonomy, mobility, and regolith processing systems that can transport scientific payloads can later assist in preparing landing sites, hosting equipment, maintaining power systems, and servicing equipment between manned visits.
