NASA's Artemis mission to the moon will start in a Canoo
Fox News
Startup electric van company Canoo has won the contract to build a crew transport vehicle for NASA's Artemis moon mission.
The contract called for a street legal vehicle with the capacity for one driver, four suited-up Flight Crew Members, and three additional staff, plus six equipment bags, cooling units, and two cubic feet per passenger for miscellany. At least two large doors for entry/egress and emergency exit are needed, and it has to use a zero-emissions powertrain.
Canoo told Fox News Autos and said it was "honored to support the Artemis program." The initial contract pays $147,855 and says the vehicle must be delivered for use at the Kennedy Space Center by June 2023.
