Masten

Interesting video on Masten landers - Masten are hooking up with NASA for possible lunar landings. Not clear yet what rocket will be used to get it to lunar orbit but Falcon 9H could do it.

I think something like these landers could be built on Mars at an early stage, either as rocket hoppers, for exploration or as vehicles to LMO.

Re: Masten

They were the company with the lead for spot-to-spot takeoff and landing for the google prize quite some time ago and since they were used as a means for Nasa to think out how to get a lunar lander that was tossed in the trash when space x was given a contract that did not follow the request design concept, so it killed others too that were working towards similar designs.
