NASA has initiated plans for a lunar base, ordering landers, rovers, and drones from four US companies. The first phase aims for hardware delivery before the Artemis III mission, targeting a crewed lunar landing by 2028. The base will support scientific research and prepare for future Mars expeditions.
- 01NASA has awarded contracts worth hundreds of millions to four US companies for lunar base development.
- 02Blue Origin will provide landers to transport moon buggies, while Firefly Aerospace will deliver drones.
- 03The Artemis III mission is scheduled for mid-2027, with a lunar landing planned for 2028.
- 04The second phase of the moon base development will begin in 2029, focusing on building permanent infrastructure.
- 05NASA aims to establish a lunar economy and conduct scientific research to support future Mars missions.

NASA has taken significant steps toward establishing a moon base, recently awarding contracts totaling hundreds of millions of dollars to four US companies for essential hardware. Blue Origin, led by Jeff Bezos, will supply landers to transport lunar buggies, which will be developed by Astrolab and Lunar Outpost. Firefly Aerospace, known for its successful lunar landing last year, will introduce the first drones to the moon. This equipment is expected to be operational before the Artemis III mission, scheduled for mid-2027, which aims for a crewed lunar landing as early as 2028. The second phase of the moon base's development will commence in 2029, focusing on creating permanent infrastructure, including a power grid. NASA's moon base program executive, Carlos Garcia-Galan, envisions a vast base spanning hundreds of square miles, equipped with drones to mark territorial boundaries. The moon base's ultimate goal is to foster a lunar economy and facilitate scientific research, laying the groundwork for future expeditions to Mars.
