NASA opens competition for LTV

NASA has launched an open competition for vendors to design and build the next-generation lunar terrain vehicle (LTV) capable of supporting both crewed and uncrewed activities on the moon’s South Pole. 

The LTV Services contracting program covers development, delivery and operations of the lunar surface rover for crewed missions beginning with Artemis V in 2029, NASA said May 27. 

NASA is seeking a platform that would carry two suited astronauts, use a robotic arm for science exploration support tasks and function in south polar region conditions. 

Interested vendors can submit proposals until July 10. The agency is looking to award the contract in November. (GovConWire 05/30/23) NASA Opens Competition for Lunar Terrain Vehicle Service Contracting Effort - GovCon Wire
