Lunar Outpost bets on autonomous Moon infrastructure with Pegasus rover

Lunar Outpost, already testing the Eagle rover, has secured about $30 million to develop Pegasus, a smaller, autonomous lunar rover aimed at building a broader Moon infrastructure ecosystem. The company envisions rovers that autonomously construct launch pads, energy storage, habitats, and other facilities, potentially working alongside Artemis astronauts. Pegasus is slated for delivery by 2027 with a Moon launch planned for 2028, aligning with NASA’s Artemis timeline and part of a wider push to enable a sustained human presence on the Moon and multi‑planetary exploration.
