NASA: 60 Years of Exploration and Discovery

For more than 90 years, Caterpillar has been building the world’s infrastructure.

And we plan to continue, whether that effort happens in a great city, a developing village, or even beyond our planet.

Caterpillar has proudly partnered with NASA for decades. We may not have excavators in space (yet), but by collaborating in progressive research opportunities like the 3D Habitat Centennial Challenge, we’re able to develop disruptive technologies that help solve our customers’ challenges now, and in the future. One example: the Cat® Next Gen Excavator.

Next Gen Excavators have been designed with a digital “heart” that can evolve over time as technology and customer needs change. So wherever and whenever building the world’s infrastructure happens, Caterpillar will be there.
