CANOO X NASA

CREW TRANSPORT VEHICLE (CTV)

NASA has selected Canoo to provide Crew Transportation Vehicles (CTVs) for crewed Artemis lunar exploration. Canoo will deliver multiple customized all-electric LV models to NASA by June 2023.

The CTVs are designed and engineered to carry fully suited astronauts, flight support crew, and equipment to the launch pad. The vehicles have an exclusive interior and exterior design that will provide astronaut and crew comfort and safety while on the nine-mile journey to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center.
