NASA has selected three companies to develop plans for the new Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) for Artemis astronauts. 

NASA will evaluate and select the new LTV and "NASA will acquire the LTV as a service from industry. The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, milestone-based Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services contract with firm-fixed-price task orders has a combined maximum potential value of $4.6 billion for all awards."

Japan's space agency JAXA and NASA have signed an agreement to carry NASA astronauts aboard JAXA's new "Lunar Cruiser" that is being developed by JAXA and Toyota.  

Exciting times for lunar exploration....
