Attention Artemis astronauts: Your new rides to the launch pad have arrived.

Canoo Technologies on Tuesday (July 11) delivered three specially designed, fully electric crew transportation vehicles (CTV) to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The new trio of “astrovans” will enter service as soon as late 2024, when the four astronauts assigned to NASA’s Artemis 2 mission launch on the first crewed mission to fly around the moon in more than 50 years.

“I have no doubt everyone who sees these new vehicles will feel the same sense of pride I have for this next endeavor of crewed Artemis missions,” said Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, NASA’s Artemis launch director, in a statement.

Canoo based the new NASA crew transports on its LV, or Lifestyle Vehicle, which the company describes as having a “multi-purpose platform to maximize cabin space, utility and productivity on a compact footprint.” The three vehicles can carry four astronauts in their Orion crew survival system pressure suits and support personnel (including a suit technician), as well as have the room for specialized equipment for the trip from Kennedy’s Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building to Complex 39B, where the crew’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft will be poised for liftoff.

Externally, the new Artemis vehicles appear to be somewhat of a cross between the livery of the Apollo astronaut transfer van with the sleek outline of the shuttle-era Airstream — only with a more modern look accentuated by their street-view windows and panoramic glass roofs.

Many of the design aspects, from the interior and exterior markings to the color of the vehicles to the wheel wells, were chosen by a team that included Blackwell-Thompson and members of NASA’s Astronaut Office at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Canoo, which bills itself as an advanced mobility company, was awarded the contract to manufacture the three vehicles in April 2022.

“The collaboration between Canoo and our NASA representatives focused on the crews’ safety and comfort on the way to the pad,” Blackwell-Thompson said.

For its part, Canoo chairman and CEO Tony Aquila said his company was proud to be a partner with NASA in “one of the world’s greatest endeavors.”

“The selection of our innovative technologies by NASA to take a diverse team of astronauts to the moon showcases a great commitment to sustainable transportation. We are inspired by NASA’s pioneering and trailblazing spirit,” said Aquila in a statement.
