NASA’s permanent Moon base plans start with three missions this year
On Tuesday, NASA announced several upcoming lunar missions to the Moon's South Pole region. These missions will pave the way for the crewed Artemis landing slated for 2028, starting with three Moon Base missions NASA says are "the first of more than a dozen missions that will be announced this year." Moon Base I, launching "no earlier than fall 2026," will use Blue Origin's Blue Moon Mark 1 Endurance lander to bring NASA payloads to the Moon, including the Stereo Camera for L
NASA is initiating a series of missions aimed at establishing a permanent presence on the Moon's South Pole. The first of these, dubbed Moon Base I, is scheduled for a fall 2026 launch. This mission will utilize Blue Origin's lander to deliver scientific instruments designed to analyze the interaction between rocket thrusters and the lunar surface. These initial steps are part of a larger plan involving over a dozen missions this year, all contributing to the eventual crewed Artemis landing targeted for 2028.
These missions are crucial for understanding the lunar environment and developing the necessary technologies for sustained human exploration beyond Earth.
