NASA telah memberikan kontrak senilai hampir 720 juta dolar AS untuk dua unit rover seberat satu ton dan pengirimannya menggunakan pendarat Blue Origin, yang menandakan fokus yang lebih sempit dibandingkan konsep pangkalan skala penuh sebelumnya.

Agensi tersebut memilih Astrolab (219 juta dolar AS untuk CLV-1) dan Lunar Outpost (220 juta dolar AS untuk Pegasus) guna membangun rover otonom dengan jangkauan 200 km. Blue Origin menerima 280,4 juta dolar AS untuk mengirimkan rover tersebut menggunakan pendarat Blue Moon Mark 1 miliknya. Administrator NASA Jared Isaacman mengatakan bahwa penghargaan kontrak ini menjaga momentum untuk misi berawak yang dijadwalkan paling cepat pada tahun 2028. Kontrak-kontrak tersebut kini dibingkai sebagai dukungan bagi pengembangan ekonomi bulan, alih-alih Pangkalan Bulan ekspansif yang dibahas sebelumnya.

NASA cancels Lunar Gateway to prioritize $20B moon base under Ignition plan

Rabu, 25 Maret 2026 Dilaporkan oleh AI Gambar dihasilkan oleh AI

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced the Ignition initiative on March 24, canceling the Lunar Gateway orbiting station to focus on a $20 billion three-phase moon base on the lunar surface. The shift, echoing Trump administration budget proposals, supports frequent Artemis crewed landings amid competition from China and preparations for the first crewed Artemis mission with a launch window opening April 1.

NASA awards contracts for lunar base rovers and lander deliveries

NASA announced new contract awards on Tuesday for the initial elements of a planned lunar base, including two rovers and their delivery to the Moon. The moves support the agency's Moon Base initiative ahead of a crewed return scheduled for no earlier than 2028.

Corrosion affects Lunar Gateway's habitable modules

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman confirmed that the two delivered habitable modules for the Lunar Gateway space station, HALO and I-HAB, have corrosion issues. The revelation came during Congressional testimony and adds to reasons for pausing the program to prioritize lunar surface missions. Northrop Grumman and the European Space Agency are addressing the problem.

Four astronauts are heading to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The crew launched at 18:35 local time from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard the Orion capsule atop the Space Launch System. The mission builds on Artemis 1 and sets milestones for women and non-white astronauts.

Researchers test semi-autonomous legged robot for planetary surfaces

Scientists from the University of Basel, ETH Zurich, and the European Space Agency have tested a quadrupedal robot equipped with a robotic arm to explore planetary surfaces more efficiently. The robot navigated rocky terrain autonomously, identifying targets and collecting data faster than traditional human-guided methods. The findings, published this week, suggest it could accelerate resource prospecting and searches for signs of life on the moon and Mars.
