SpaceX signs second commercial deal for Starship lunar lander with Lunar Outpost
As SpaceX’s Starship test program continues to gain momentum, the company signed its second commercial deal to deliver a payload to the moon using a lunar lander variant of the massive vehicle. Starship will deposit Lunar Outpost’s rugged rover, called Eagle, to the lunar surface by 2029, the Colorado-based startup said. Lunar Outpost CEO Justin Cyrus declined to provide other details about the mission, such as whether this will be a dedicated flight or part of a ride-share, or the cost.
