NASA Artemis Crew Transportation Vehicle (CTV) Demo | Kennedy Space Center

NASA Artemis Crew Transportation Vehicle (CTV) Demo | Kennedy Space Center

This is an example of the type of vehicle NASA's Artemis astronauts will use on the drive to the launchpad for crewed missions to the Moon starting with Artemis II & Artemis III at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Canoo Technologies Inc., was awarded a contract to design and provide the next generation of Crew transportation vehicles (CTVs) for the Artemis crewed missions.

Representatives with Canoo were at the spaceport demonstrating the environmentally friendly fleet of vehicles. Artemis II will be the first Artemis mission flying crew aboard the Orion spacecraft. NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon on Artemis II, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.
