Goodyear has joined hands with Lockheed Martin, a global security and aerospace company, to develop tires for lunar vehicles. The team of companies intends to be the first to establish extended-use commercial vehicle operations on the Moon. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company supplied essential products for NASA’s Apollo program, including the Apollo 11 mission which landed on the Moon 53 years ago. The company will continue that tradition - focusing on lunar vehicle tires - by joining Lockheed Martin in its development of a lunar mobility vehicle. Since Apollo, Goodyear continued innovating alongside NASA to advance designs for a lunar vehicle tire.
