The multi-functional Flexible Logistics and Exploration (FLEX) Rover is a vital part of the infrastructure enabling humanity to survive and thrive on new worlds.
From uncrewed cargo delivery and deployment to crewed transportation and exploration, FLEX Rover will be the largest and most capable rover to ever operate on the Lunar surface.
NASA awarded Astrolab a contract to advance the development of NASA’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle System. Once complete, the LTVS will help Artemis astronauts explore the Moon’s surface on future missions.
FLEX Rover will first travel to the Moon as part of the Artemis Program as soon as 2026, where its mission to take humanity one step further begins.
