NASA's Moon Base Plans! Meet the rovers that will explore the lunar south pole

NASA is laying the groundwork for a permanent human presence on the moon. Take a look at the rovers and lunar terrain vehicles that will explore the moon's south pole, search for water ice and help Artemis astronauts travel across the rugged lunar surface. NASA's VIPER rover is preparing for a late 2027 launch aboard Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander, while Astrolab and Lunar Outpost are developing next-generation vehicles that can operate both autonomously and with astronauts aboard. These lunar explorers will help scientists identify resources, scout potential landing sites and pave the way for NASA's future moon base.
