Lunar Outpost’s Pegasus is the Rover Built to Give Artemis Astronauts Real Range on the Moon

SMRTR summary

NASA selected Lunar Outpost to build the Pegasus rover for the Artemis program, awarding $220 million to develop a crewed vehicle for the lunar south pole. Designed for two astronauts, Pegasus can travel up to 900 kilometers on a single charge, operate for a full year, and handle both crewed driving and autonomous navigation — making it a major leap forward for long-term lunar exploration starting around 2028.
