NASA picks three companies to develop a Moon car for Artemis astronauts

NASA has chosen Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab to develop a lunar terrain rover for its Artemis lunar missions. The companies will design vehicles capable of facilitating astronaut exploration of the Moon's south polar region, which is believed to contain frozen water. The chosen vehicles must accommodate two astronauts, withstand extreme conditions, and have remote operation capabilities for continued testing and exploration. The trio will undergo a feasibility study and submit a proposal for a demonstration mission before delivering their rover to the Moon's surface. Intuitive Machines recently made history as the first private aerospace company to land a spacecraft on the Moon.
