Canoo recently took three vans, appropriately painted red, white and blue, to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for some preliminary evaluations.
The contract calls for street legal vehicle with the capacity for one driver, four suited-up flight crew members, and three additional staff, plus six equipment bags, cooling units, and two cubic feet per passenger for miscellany. At least two large doors for entry/egress and emergency exit are needed, and it has to use a zero-emissions powertrain.
