Building a Permanent Lunar Base

NASA is accelerating toward a permanent lunar base, unveiling new missions and contracts to build the foundation for sustained human presence on the Moon. Three key missions—Moon Base One, Two, and Three—will deliver rovers, scientific gear, and cargo to the South Pole region, testing mobility, landing tech, and surface operations. Companies like Astrolab and Lunar Outpost are developing rugged Lunar Terrain Vehicles to transport astronauts and supplies for up to a year. Meanwhile, NASA’s MoonFall mission will deploy drones to map the Moon’s most challenging terrain, guiding future crewed landings. All part of a broader strategy to increase launch frequency, foster industry partnerships, and turn the Moon into a proving ground for Mars missions—while driving innovation and economic growth for Earth.
