LunaCorp, was a small but ambitious private company headed by its former president David Gump, established in 1989. It was designed around a privately funded mission, using Russian technology, to put a rover on the Moon. The aim for the company was to fund the mission by the entertainment value of having customers drive the rover. The program's advisor was Dr. Buzz Aldrin, who, together with Neil Armstrong, walked on the surface of the Moon in 1969 during the first manned lunar mission.After producing no tangible results the company was dissolved in 2003.
