Lunar Outpost's capability overview of its MAPP (Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform) lunar rover. The 'autonomous prospecting' framing is the maker's. MAPP flew on the IM-2 'Athena' lander, which tipped on landing (March 2025), so MAPP could not be deployed to the surface, a deployment outcome due to the lander, not the rover. This is a capability film, not surface footage.
