NASA is taking another major step toward a permanent Moon base with four new commercial missions that will test technology, deliver science, and help prepare for humanity’s future beyond Earth.
NASA has selected three commercial space companies to carry out four new lunar missions in late 2028 through the agency’s Moon Base Program. Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace, and Intuitive Machines will transport NASA science instruments to the Moon as the agency works toward establishing the first outpost on another celestial body.
