OPERATING 51-200 EMPLOYEES

Builds lunar rovers and robotic infrastructure for surface mobility, prospecting, and crew transport on the Moon and Mars

ABOUT

Lunar Outpost designs and manufactures robotic systems for lunar surface operations, including autonomous rovers, crew transport vehicles, and prospecting platforms. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Golden, Colorado, the company operates offices in the United States, Luxembourg, and Australia.

The company's primary platforms are the MAPP (Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform) rover for autonomous exploration and prospecting missions, and the Eagle Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), a crewed and cargo transport developed under a NASA contract for the Artemis program. The Eagle LTV is being built by the Lunar Dawn consortium, which Lunar Outpost leads alongside General Motors, Goodyear, MDA Space, and Leidos.

Lunar Outpost has multiple lunar missions planned on an annual cadence beginning in 2025, spanning commercial payload delivery, scientific investigation, and resource utilization demonstrations. The company contributed to the MOXIE experiment aboard the NASA Perseverance rover, which demonstrated oxygen extraction from the Martian atmosphere. A terrestrial spinoff, the Canary environmental monitoring sensor, has collected over 40 billion data points across 35 states and 14 countries for methane leak detection.
