Lunar Outpost is proud to announce the formation of the Lunar Dawn Science Council, working with Arizona State University School of Earth and Space Exploration as the lead research organization.
In April 2024, the Lunar Dawn Team, led by Lunar Outpost, was awarded a NASA Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services contract, and we’re driving innovation by assembling a top-tier Science Council to ensure the LTV delivers maximum scientific value.
This team of experts from academia and industry will guide the mission to elevate the quality of lunar science throughout the LTV’s decade-long operation on the Moon. “It will take the best and brightest minds to create not only the first, but most scientifically viable off-road vehicle for living and working on the Moon's surface. ASU’s dedication to unlocking new scientific frontiers and extensive global reach make them a natural leader of the Science Council,” said AJ Gemer, CTO and co-founder of Lunar Outpost. “Drawing on the expertise of these individuals will ensure the greatest scientific and exploration potential as we develop our LTV with unparalleled technical capabilities.”
