Lunar Outpost

Our Eagle lunar terrain vehicle recently underwent Astronaut testing at NASA's Johnson Space Center, marking a major step in advancing lunar mobility. These tests were conducted in a simulated lunar gravity environment by offloading a portion of the Astronauts' weight through an advanced crane system, allowing the Astronauts to evaluate Eagle’s design, safety features, and usability in scenarios like emergency rescue and scientific operations on the Moon. ⁠ ⁠ The feedback from these evaluations is integral to refining Eagle into the safest, most reliable vehicle for the Moon’s surface. Designed to support NASA’s Artemis missions, Eagle will enable Astronauts to explore the lunar South Pole, paving the way for a sustainable human presence on the Moon and beyond! ⁠ https://bit.ly/3Dm3b1n ⁠ Photo credit: NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration ⁠ ⁠ #TheNextLeap #DrivingArtemis #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech #Moon #Innovation ⁠

Lunar Outpost is making history again! ⁠ ⁠ Our Lunar Outpost Oceania team is leading the charge to build Australia’s first lunar rover, a groundbreaking mission funded by the Australian Space Agency. The project was awarded to the ELO2 Consortium, which is led by Lunar Outpost Oceania and EPE. Trusted To Protect. ⁠ ⁠ This effort expands our global footprint and demonstrates the impact of international collaboration in advancing sustainable exploration. CEO Justin Cyrus shared, “In this new era of space, bolstered by global collaboration, we are proud to play a pivotal role—advancing our vision through international partnerships, supporting diverse missions, and growing our capabilities globally.” ⁠ ⁠ This project not only strengthens Australia’s role in space but also reinforces Lunar Outpost’s leadership in planetary mobility, adding another lunar mission to our portfolio, and bringing us one step closer to unlocking humanity’s future in space. We look forward to working with the Australian Space Agency, NASA and our ELO₂ Consortium partners on this historic lunar mission. ⁠ ⁠ Read the announcement: https://bit.ly/3ZWvFaV ⁠ #TheNextLeap #GDayMoon #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech #Moon #Innovation NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Revolutionizing lunar exploration starts with MAPP. Our Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform is the first commercial rover built to tackle the challenges of the lunar surface. With lightweight efficiency, specialized wheels, and advanced autonomy, MAPP confidently navigates GPS-denied terrain, accessing regions once throught unreachable. Its cutting-edge sensors and cameras ensure safe and precise traversal of the Moon’s rugged environment. Set to make history on Lunar Voyage 1, MAPP will explore the lunar South Pole, demonstrating the technologies needed for sustainable exploration and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the Moon. #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech #Moon #Innovation

Our LV1 rover carries more than just cutting-edge technology. Hidden beneath it are the signatures of engineers, designers, and operations experts who brought our company’s mission to life. Headed to the Moon on our Lunar Voyage 1, these engravings are more than names – they represent the dedication of our team and our collective belief in the importance of space exploration. Plus, it’s just cool to have your name on the Moon! The impact of Lunar Voyage 1 goes beyond the Moon; it’s about shaping the New Space economy and paving the way for a sustainable human presence on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech #Innovation

Lunar Outpost Eagle on display at Johnson Space Center! Space enthusiasts recently had a chance to check out our Lunar Terrain Vehicle at NASA's Space Vehicle Mockup Facility. Located on the JSC campus, the SVMF consists of ISS, Orion, commercial vehicle mockups, part-task trainers and rack interfaces, a Precision Air Bearing Floor, and a Partial Gravity Simulator.      Lunar Outpost Eagle is being developed as part of NASA’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) contract. The Lunar Outpost Eagle is designed with Astronauts in mind - prioritizing safety, efficiency, and adaptability. Its custom wheels, robotic arm, and lunar night survival capabilities make it the ultimate tool for unlocking the Moon's secrets!      #TheNextLeap #DrivingArtemis #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech #Innovation NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Recently, Lunar Outpost had the honor of welcoming retired Astronauts Dan Burbank and John Grunsfeld to test our Eagle Lunar Terrain Vehicle, bringing their collective expertise from 246 days in space. Dan and John have previously worked together on Hubble Space Telescope spacewalks with Grunsfeld in space and Burbank in Mission Control, bringing unique insights on human-spacecraft interfaces that were invaluable for our LTV design process.  Their feedback during this test helped guide key design refinements, enhancing our vehicle’s functionality, efficiency, and – most importantly – safety. Human factors testing like this is essential for Astronaut well-being and mission success by ensuring our vehicle’s design provides the tools necessary for crew to safely explore the lunar South Pole. Each test brings us closer to delivering a vehicle that supports seamless and secure operations on the lunar surface, enabling the success of NASA’s Artemis missions. #TheNextLeap #DrivingArtemis #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech #Innovation

In this episode of How to Make a Space Truck, we dive into the surprising geopolitics of the Moon. Starting with the first Space Race of the 1960s, all the way to future Artemis missions, we cover what makes the Moon so important politically and economically. Learn why the lunar South Pole is the gateway to the universe and how countries plan to capitalize on this strategic area.  And follow our first mission to the lunar South Pole on all our social media channels! #TheNextLeap #DrivingArtemis #HowToMakeASpaceTruck #LunarOutpost #LunarDawn #SpaceTech #SpaceTruck
