Consider for development partnerships; lunar operational use remains conditional on qualification and deployment.

Why: Eagle has demonstrated ground mobility and undergone NASA crew-interface testing. Pegasus has a NASA delivery award, but its final flight configuration and one-year lunar operation remain unproven in the reviewed evidence.
Next: Require Pegasus-specific flight qualification, emergency-return and thermal test results, followed by successful lunar commissioning, before relying on it for astronaut transport.

Constraints

Pegasus final design and flight qualification remain outstanding in the reviewed evidence.
One-year lunar endurance and autonomous operation lack demonstrated exact-vehicle validation.
Emergency return to the lander within 45 minutes remains a tracked LTV program risk.
Integrated thermal conditions require further modeling and validation.
Operational availability depends on successful lunar delivery and commissioning.
