Only 5% of the Moon’s surface has been explored by the human race, and to reach the other 95%, NASA astronauts on the Artemis program are going to need some serious wheels. That’s why Lockheed Martin and General Motors have teamed up to design a next-generation lunar rover, capable of transporting astronauts across farther distances on the lunar surface. While the rover doesn’t need to be lightweight to travel around the Moon, it will certainly have to be extremely lightweight in order to be transported from the Earth’s surface (where it will likely be assembled, until there will be AM factories available in space) to the surface of the Moon. For this endeavor, Lockheed Martin and GM—with both companies already quite familiar with using AM—may want to turn to SLM Solutions. The metal AM hardware manufacturer has built up experience with building both lunar rovers and cars.
