Lunar Dawn Science Council Guides Lunar Rover Science

Arizona State Leads Research Efforts On Team

Lunar Outpost of Golden, Colorado, announced the establishment of the Lunar Dawn Science Council and named the Arizona State University (ASU) School of Earth and Space Exploration as the lead research group on the team.

Lunar Outpost leads the Lunar Dawn team, which was awarded a Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) contract by NASA in April 2024 to enable unprecedented exploration of the Moon’s surface by NASA Artemis astronauts. The Science Council will provide input and guidance from lunar scientists to maximize the quality and scientific return generated from the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) during its 10+ years of anticipated operational life on the lunar surface.

The Science Council is a global coalition of distinguished partners from the U.S. and other signatory countries of the Artemis Accord. Arizona State will lead the organization and operation of the Council. ASU’s leadership is supported by the university’s Space Technology and Science Initiative, Milo Space Science Institute, and Digital Discovery Initiative.

AJ Gemer, CTO and co-founder of Lunar Outpost explained, “It will take the best and brightest minds to create not only the first, but most scientifically viable off-road vehicle for living and working on the Moon's surface. ASU’s dedication to unlocking new scientific frontiers and extensive global reach make them a natural leader of the Science Council. Drawing on the expertise of these individuals will ensure the greatest scientific and exploration potential as we develop our LTV with unparalleled technical capabilities.”
