A new lunar rover is under development by Lockheed Martin and Goodyear as NASA gears up for a return to the moon.
Unlike the rover first used during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, built to last only a few days and for short trips, the new lunar vehicle is being built for extended use. And this time, it’s not just for NASA.
