Astrolab

NASA plans to establish a permanent lunar base by 2029 through 25 missions, including 21 landings, with contracts awarded to Blue Origin, Astrolab, Lunar Outpost, and Firefly Aerospace. The initiative aims to deliver cargo, transportation systems, and infrastructure for future human habitation and a 'lunar economy'.

NASA has awarded contracts to Blue Origin, Astrolab, Lunar Outpost, and Firefly Aerospace for the first phase of its moon base plans, which include developing landers, buggies, and drones for a 2028 mission. The agreements, valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, aim to advance lunar exploration infrastructure.

NASA has awarded contracts to four U.S. companies, including Blue Origin, Astrolab, Lunar Outpost, and Firefly Aerospace, to develop landers, lunar buggies, and drones for its moon base. The first phase aims to deliver hardware by 2028, with Artemis astronauts landing on the moon as early as 2028, followed by infrastructure development in the 2030s.

NASA plans up to three lunar missions by the end of 2026 to deliver payloads and test equipment from Blue Origin and Astrolab.

NASA awarded contracts to Astrolab and Lunar Outpost to build lunar rovers for its Moon Base initiative, with delivery expected by 2028. The rovers, CLV-1 and Pegasus, will support astronaut mobility and autonomous operations on the Moon.

Bremont's Supernova Chronograph will be sent to the Moon's surface via Astrolab's FLIP rover, set for a lunar landing later this year. The mission marks a collaboration between the watchmaker and the robotics company for a space exploration project.
