NASA Awards More Moon Base Science, Previews New Opportunities

NASA announced the selection of Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace, and Intuitive Machines to execute four new missions to the Moon in late 2028. These companies will deliver critical NASA science payloads to the lunar surface. This initiative is a key component of the agency's Moon Base Program, which aims to establish the first human outpost on another celestial world, expanding scientific capabilities and lunar exploration through these strategic commercial lander contracts.
