Moon: NASA Asks Industry To Build New Buggies For $90 Billion Landings

Artist's concept of NASA's next-generation Lunar Terrain Vehicle on the surface of the Moon.
NASA has put out a call for private industry to help it build a next-generation moon buggy as part of its $90 billion-plus program to put U.S. astronauts back on the lunar surface in the late-2020s.
The space agency is building towards crewed landings on the moon, but so far it lacks the hardware to do anything but reach lunar orbit. A next-generation LTV (Lunar Terrain Vehicle) would allow its astronauts to explore the moon’s South Pole—the intended destination for its Artemis missions because of the possible presence of water—and conduct more science, according to NASA.
