NASA's VIPER rover project is on hold due to budget constraints, and Houston-based Intuitive Machines aims to negotiate cost reduction and potentially launch it by 2026-2027.
NASA's $450M VIPER rover, designed to find water ice at the Moon's south pole for potential use as astronaut drinking water or rocket fuel, is on hold due to budget constraints.
Houston-based company Intuitive Machines has expressed interest in taking over the project, proposing to use their Nova-D lander to launch VIPER by late 2026 or mid-2027.
The company aims to negotiate the cost reduction needed for VIPER's completion, and if successful, the rover could provide valuable data for lunar exploration efforts.
