Lunar Outpost Tech Stack

Commercial lunar rovers and robotic systems for space infrastructure

Aviation & Aerospace Golden, CO 51–200 employees Founded 2017 Privately Held

Lunar Outpost designs and builds rovers and robotics for lunar surface operations, with five missions in development and partnerships spanning General Motors, Goodyear, and MDA Space. The tech stack—ROS, LiDAR, FPGAs, RTOS, C++, and embedded systems—reflects a hardware-first, real-time robotics architecture. Engineering dominates hiring (14 of 17 active roles, weighted toward senior and staff levels), and pain points cluster around NASA certification, NIST compliance (800-171/800-53), and mission-critical scheduling—the operational profile of a defense-adjacent, hardware company scaling under regulatory constraint.

About Lunar Outpost

Lunar Outpost builds autonomous rovers and robotic systems for lunar exploration and resource prospecting. The company operates across three product lines: the MAPP (Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform) rover for exploration, the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) for heavy transport, and supporting in-space infrastructure. All five planned lunar missions are in active development, with the first rover positioned to be the first commercial unit on the Moon and the first to reach the lunar South Pole. The company is headquartered in Golden, Colorado, and employs 51–200 people. Revenue comes from government contracts (NASA Artemis program) and commercial space partnerships.
