NASA to Announce Rover Developer for Artemis Program

NASA will announce the company or companies chosen to develop the rover for its Artemis program of lunar exploration during a press conference on April 3 at 4 p.m. EDT. The two-person Artemis rover, officially known as the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), will aid astronauts in exploring the moon’s south polar region, with plans to establish a base in an area believed to contain abundant water ice. The LTV is designed to operate autonomously, allowing it to conduct scientific work during periods when crewed Artemis missions are not active.
