NASA invests $4.6 billion in Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) project for lunar exploration.
Three companies spearheading LTV development: Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab.
Artemis V mission aims to deploy advanced LTV with features like autonomous driving and enhanced communication.
Multi-phase approach to LTV development includes feasibility study, demonstration mission, and continued procurement.
Remote operation capabilities allow NASA to conduct science missions on the Moon even when astronauts aren't present.
LTVs will empower astronauts to explore Moon's South Pole & expanding lunar exploration initiatives.
LTV plays a crucial role in advancing Artemis missions, facilitating lunar exploration and paving the way for future space endeavors.
