Blue Origin's Mark 1 lander will deliver equipment to the Shackleton Connecting Ridge for the Moon Base 1 mission.

NASA detailed a newly defined Moon Base program on May 26, 2026 to establish a sustained lunar presence through an iterative, commercial-heavy approach.

NASA's next-generation CLPS 2.0 cargo lander proposals are due June 30, 2026.

NASA's Moonfall program will use a network of 3 to 4 lunar drones to scout landing sites, map the surface at centimeter-scale resolution, and prospect for water ice.

NASA's Moon Base 3 mission will carry additional payloads from the European Space Agency and the Korean Space Agency.

NASA plans a cadence of 25 launches and 21 landings between 2026 and 2029 for its Phase 1 lunar delivery campaign.

NASA will keep the new lunar terrain vehicles approximately two kilometres from crewed landing sites to protect them from landing ejecta.

NASA confirmed a $10 billion funding injection from the Working Family Tax Cut Act, with a large portion dedicated to exploration.

MDA Space is independently engaged with the Canadian Space Agency's sovereign Lunar Utility Vehicle program.
