About
We're building the infrastructure that will take humanity from visiting other worlds to actually living on them. Our team is singularly focused on designing, building, and operating a fleet of multi-purpose commercial planetary rovers to extend and enhance humanity's presence in the solar system. We pioneered the FLEX Rover, a multi-functional vehicle designed for cargo delivery, crewed transportation, and scientific exploration on the Lunar surface. Headquartered in Hawthorne, California - the epicenter of American aerospace - we're a team of NASA veterans, former SpaceX engineers, and JPL alumni who know what it takes to get hardware ready for space. NASA awarded us a contract to advance the development of the Lunar Terrain Vehicle System that will help Artemis astronauts explore the Moon's surface on future missions. We believe in experimentation, iteration, and putting our hardware through rigorous testing to ensure it can endure the harsh environment of space. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, working with partners like Venturi, NASA, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Axiom Space, and Odyssey to make the multi-planetary future a reality.
