NASA Seeks Solutions for Moonwalker Medical Evacuations

NASA is seeking innovative ideas for a device to transport injured astronauts on the lunar surface, offering a $45,000 prize for the best solution. The device must be lightweight, compact, and capable of traversing up to two kilometers over challenging lunar terrain without using a lunar rover. It should withstand extreme temperatures and lunar dust but doesn't need to provide medical support. Submissions are due by January 23, 2025, with winners announced in February.
