The company, founded by Justin Cyrus, AJ Gemer, Forrest Meyen, and Julian Cyrus, develops mobility and autonomous systems for operations on the lunar surface and in orbit. The new funding will accelerate production of its rover platforms, expand manufacturing, and support deployment of mission ready systems for NASA's Artemis program and U.S. national security initiatives.
