NASA's $147,855 contract requires Canoo build at "least one vehicle -- coined the Artemis Crew Transport Vehicle (CTV) -- for NASA by June 2023. The official use of the CTV will be to cover an approximately 10-mile journey from the Operations and Checkout Building (O&C) to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center. And if the launch isn't successful, it will be responsible for bringing them back."
