Venturi has revealed its particularly ambitious design for a lunar rover, which it intends to operate by as early as 2026. A first flight in partnership with SpaceX is already on the agenda for this unusual vehicle.

Monaco-based group Venturi, known for its automobiles, recently unveiled its Flex (Flexible Logistics and Exploration) lunar rover. The rover is designed to play a role in future scientific and commercial missions to the Moon. Compared with other similar projects, it stands out for its large size and its ability to be piloted remotely. Flex is scheduled to reach the Moon in 2026, using SpaceX's Starship launcher.
