IT media Engadget reported on the 15th (local time) that electric start-up Kanu has delivered three electric vehicles for astronauts to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Three of Canoe’s Crew Transport Vehicles (CTVs) arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this week.

It can carry flight support crew and other space equipment. Photo = Kanu “The vehicle has an interior and exterior design that will provide comfort and safety to astronauts and crew while traveling a distance of approximately 14 kilometers to the Kennedy Space Center launch pad,” the company said. The Artemis 2 mission is NASA’s first mission to send a man to the moon since the Apollo program in 1972. Four astronauts will travel around the moon for 10 days. NASA is testing the Orion capsule and SLS super-large rocket for the Artemis 2 mission, and will ensure that both spacecraft are safe for astronauts in the future. Related article Engadget said that the delivery of electric vehicles to NASA is an opportunity to increase public interest in electric canoes. Currently, Kanu is suffering from financial difficulties. Recently, Kanu signed contracts to supply 4,500 electric vehicles to retailers such as Walmart and provided test vehicles to the U.S. Army, but Engadget said there was still a long way to go before Kanu’s financial stability.
