Verification posture is product-showcase from the maker._ - **video**: [Lunar Outpost MAPP rover overview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8fmhYM1FRc). _Courtesy of Lunar Outpost_. 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. ## Supply chain _No verified supply relationships on file. Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model's suppliers._ _Suppliers appear when verified with at least two strong sources. Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history._ ## Common questions ### What is MAPP (Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform)?
