More momentum for the Moon Base! NASA has awarded six new launch and in-space transportation task orders to American companies, advancing the capabilities for future missions supporting Moon Base such as CAPSTONE 02, LCRNS, and MoonFall.
A step toward keeping Moon Base connected. NASA has selected @SpaceX for the Cislunar Communications Deployment Demonstration (C2D2). Targeted for 2028, the Starship mission will demonstrate launch and spacecraft deployment capabilities that could help inform future lunar communications networks connecting astronauts, mission controllers and Moon Base.
The Moon Base delivery network is growing. NASA has selected eight American companies for the next phase of our CLPS initiative, strengthening our lunar transportation capabilities to support larger and more frequent deliveries for Moon Base development.
NASA is moving forward with PROMISE, a nuclear-powered lunar rover that will build on decades of Mars rover innovation to explore the Moon's South Pole region, advance lunar science and discovery, and support Moon Base objectives. NASA has selected @blueorigin to deliver PROMISE to the lunar South Pole region. youtu.be/8f0aPpW1Ifs?si=VLg7…
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory will manage the PROMISE mission and build the rover from a combination of flight-spare components and engineering test models constructed to support the agency’s Curiosity and Perseverance Mars missions. Learn more: nasa.gov/moonbase/promise
NASA has selected industry partners to provide components for a new communications and solar tower, known as miniCAST, that the agency will build to demonstrate power and communications capabilities in the Moon's South Pole region. It's another step toward developing the infrastructure needed to support a sustained human presence on the lunar surface.
