During fall of this year, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contacted Torvec, to request a visit to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, for the purpose of consulting on drive-line products. Torvec representatives were given amazing access to the facilities at JSC, and were appreciative of the respect, attentiveness and insight given to them by the personnel at NASA.

At the conclusion of the presentations, NASA engaged Torvec to conduct a feasibility study as to the integration of six of Torvec’s IVTs & IsoTorque ™ differentials into the next generation Lunar Rover. This is part of NASA’s planed return to the Moon and permanent lunar settlement (learn more). Torvec will be responsible for a proposal for the integration of the IVT and IsoTorque ™ differential and functional units for NASA's inspection and testing.

Torvec is excited for the potential of this project and we feel confident that we will meet and exceed the requirements NASA has set forth.
