Quick Glance: NASA awards contracts for autonomous moon rovers
- NASA awarded contracts to three commercial space companies to develop autonomous rovers for moving cargo and people on the moon as it establishes a lasting presence there.
- The companies will partner with NASA to pursue commercial opportunities, with contracts totaling up to $4.6 billion over 15 years for lunar terrain vehicles.
- These rovers will enable astronauts to explore more of the lunar surface, especially at the South Pole, and conduct autonomous scientific operations.
- NASA continues to invest in technologies like moon habitats, energy generation, and mining to enhance lunar exploration and achieve the goal of returning astronauts to a moon base.
