Lunar Outpost (company)
Lunar Outpost is a private space company headquartered in Golden, Colorado, USA. It is active in the areas of space robotics, lunar surface mobility, and space resources. The company developed the Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform (MAPP) rover, which operated at the lunar South Pole in 2025, and holds a contract to develop a Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) for the Artemis Program.
The company was formed in 2017 and has multiple contracted missions and projects in progress. Lunar Outpost is also one of three finalists to develop the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) for the Artemis Program. The company designed and built the Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform (MAPP) lunar rover carried to the lunar surface by the IM-2 mission. The rover was intended to demonstrate ISRU on the lunar surface and deploy the first cellular network on another planetary body in partnership with Nokia. The mission launched February 26, 2025 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and reached the lunar South Pole via the IM-2 lunar lander. The lander experienced an off-nominal landing, coming to rest on its side and was unable to deploy the MAPP rover. On the IM-3 mission, Lunar Outpost will explore Reiner Gamma.
The company operates offices across three continents, including North America, Europe, and Oceania.
The headquarters is located in Golden, Colorado, and serves as a hub for innovation and engineering. The facility includes a mission control center and a regolith simulant pit, which is used for testing platforms under conditions that simulate the lunar surface. Additionally, the Golden location houses facilities for the design, manufacturing, and testing of lunar rovers. Lunar Outpost's 1000-acre Lunar Vehicle Testing Facility is located in Southern Colorado.
Lunar Outpost EU is located in Luxembourg and was established in 2022. This office focuses on thermal energy collection, control, and storage technologies that enable systems to survive the harsh conditions of space. The LUX-Thermal energy system is currently being developed to provide customers with long-term electrical and thermal energy on the lunar surface to survive the lunar night and enhance daytime operations. The first technology created by this office, an active thermal switch, flew onboard Lunar Outpost's Lunar Voyage 1 in 2025. The team has a contract with the Luxembourg Space Agency.
Lunar Outpost Oceania is located in Melbourne, Australia and was established in 2022. This office focuses on mobility platforms and rovers for robotic exploration and payload services on planetary bodies. Along with partner EPE, they are one of the leads for the ELO2 Consortium that was selected by the Australian Space Agency to build Australia's first lunar rover.
Lunar Voyage 1 launched in February 2025 and landed at the lunar South Pole in March 2025. The MAPP rover collected data and operated in cislunar space and on the lunar surface. It carried payloads from commercial, government, and science partners. The historic mission marked the first commercial rover on another planetary body and the first rover at the lunar South Pole.
Some payloads onboard included antennas from Nokia to establish the first cellular network on another planetary body, three payloads from MIT, and a regolith collection mechanism to complete the first sale of space resources with NASA. The rover also carried a payload from Juventus FC, making them the first football club on the Moon. To commemorate the mission, Juventus released a capsule collection with Lunar Outpost and Adidas.
