@bobcarter101 @NASAMoonBase @LunarOutpostInc @NASAJohnson It is commercial. And the contract value is public information.

@sgAlterEgo @MoviePlugHQ We used to call things Operation Dinner Out all the time in the CIA. High threat meetings. Counter surveillance ops. Going to dinner… This movie had serious impact.

@TaylorCSargent I liked your post just so I could see it.

Infrastructure in space is critical to national security. The Moon is not only the jumping off point for the rest of the solar system but also Earth’s naturally largest occurring satellite. It is the high ground.

@NatalieFratto @awscloud Same. But I did get to run a space accelerator with some amazing teammates and got to work with the most impressive startups on earth, so definitely worth it.

@latestincosmos That’s the @LunarOutpostInc Pegasus Lunar Terrain Vehicle.

@SawyerMerritt @skylavergne That’s the @LunarOutpostInc Pegasus LTV!

@Cointelegraph Go @NASAMoonBase and go @LunarOutpostInc!!

[Michael Moreno @mikemorenosd]

Beyond thrilled to share that @NASA has selected the Lunar Outpost Pegasus LTV to drive Artemis Astronauts on the Moon!

Thanks to the brilliant engineers and operators who got us this far — your hard work paid off. And thanks to @NASAAdmin and NASA for entrusting us with this historic mission as we take the first steps at building a permanent Moon Base for humanity. Looking forward to building Pegasus with partners @GM, @LeidosInc, and @goodyear. And to seeing this land in 2028!

Artemis Astronauts, meet your new ride: Pegasus.

@NASA has selected Lunar Outpost's Pegasus for a High Achievability Mission task order under its Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) contract, marking the first human-rated mobility on the Moon since Apollo. This award confirms Lunar Outpost’s leading role as the next generation mobility and infrastructure provider to advance permanent lunar operations.

The Lunar Outpost Pegasus LTV provides critical surface mobility for Astronauts operating at the Moon’s South Pole, expanding how far and long crews can traverse and operate on the lunar surface. Pegasus is designed to support a range of mission profiles, including site exploration, foundational science operations, resource prospecting, and surface site preparation as NASA lays the groundwork for a permanent human presence on the Moon by 2030.

The development of Pegasus was led by Lunar Outpost, in partnership with collaborators @GM, @goodyear, and @LeidosInc. The team combines proven heritage with decades of experience in advanced engineering, automotive industrialization, and human spaceflight.

@NASAMoonBase @blueorigin @NASAAdmin @astrobotic @astrolab We have awarded @LunarOutpostInc with a lunar terrain vehicle award. Their Pegasus rover is capable of manual, autonomous, or teleoperated driving at speeds more than 9 mph.

Early surface mobility will help us create an enduring presence on the Moon.

We are excited to announce a $30M Series B led by @IndustriousVC, with participation from @TypeOneVC, @EniacVC, Reliable Equity, @PromusVentures, @endeavor_global, and others to accelerate the critical industrial mobility layer required for a Moon Base.

“Lunar Outpost is moving beyond early missions to scaled, repeatable deployment,” said @TaylorCSargent, Partner at Industrious Ventures. “They’ve proven they can build for one of the most challenging environments imaginable, with significant demand across government programs and commercial customers. They are building the systems that will be relied on again and again as we return to the Moon, set our sights on Mars, and build a robust space economy.”

The Series B builds on a strong foundation of financial success and market validation. Lunar Outpost has doubled its revenue each year for the past four years and secured eight fully contracted lunar and cislunar missions. Lunar Outpost has consistently delivered ahead of schedule on aggressive timelines, with multiple systems already delivered and deployed. Combined with a strong cadence of government and commercial contracts, the new financing ensures the company is well-positioned as it executes on its rapidly expanding mission portfolio.

@lauraet @DarknetDiaries I think it’s a DIA thing.

@RMFandago I spent a weekend in Gotland in 2001. There’s a big Viking reenactment community there. The Swedes are ready.

@lloydblankfein 22 years ago I had just arrived in Baghdad on my first job out of college. On night 2, a rocket attack drove me to a small bunker with one other guy. “Don’t worry,” he said. “My security team is coming.” They came and took him, leaving me alone. The litmus test hasn’t changed.
