Canoo's NASA Crew Transports Get Ready For Takeoff Canoo's unique aesthetic appears to have found a home at NASA, with the EV startup revealing three Crew Transport Vehicles this week just for astronauts. The trio of electric MPVs will soon carry NASA's Artemis lunar program crew from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral to the launch pad, taking over duties from the Airstream motorhomes that had been used for this task during the space shuttle program. The electric minivans, with room for seven, will of course be modified for NASA's needs, as they will have to carry special equipment along with the individual astronauts. "We are thrilled to be a part of the Artemis missions and to deliver NASA's first zero-emission built for mission crew transportation vehicles," said Tony Aquila, Chairman and CEO of Canoo. And we already know that we're going to need these Crew Transport Vehicles in 1:64 scale with NASA Artemis graphics even before the missions blast off. Read on to find out just when we'll see these make the nine-mile journey to the launch pad.
