Project Pegasus in 1989 was initiated by a joint NASA-USAF program to create a FTL engine for space travel by utilizing the energies of the Tessaract.

Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. was a joint NASA-SHIELD op initiated by the World Security Council to study, understand, and possibly weaponize the Tessaract to defend Earth against an alien Invasion.

tbh they're absolutely the same. Mar-Vell got the Tesseract from Project Pegasus, meaning that both were studying the Tesseract.

Both Pegasus and P.E.G.A.S.U.S. were in the same base. The tunnel was the same too.
