NASA proposed to transport astronauts in a human landing system from a transfer station called Gateway to low-lunar orbit, using a descent element to carry them to the surface and an ascent element to return to them to the Gateway.
“I am confident in NASA’s partnership with these companies to help achieve the Artemis mission and develop the human landing system returning us to the Moon,” said Lisa Watson-Morgan, HLS program manager at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. “We ...
"It is one more step, in an exciting group of steps, that will get us to a sustainable human landing system to the moon," Kathy Lueders, the leader of NASA's human spaceflight program, said in the agency's announcement. SpaceX's contract is worth $2.89 billion.The Washington Post fir...
Charged with returning to the moon in the next four years, NASA's Artemis program will reveal new knowledge about the moon, Earth, and the origins in the solar system. The human landing system is a vital part of NASA's deep space exploration plans, along with the Space Launch System rock...
After launching on SLS, astronauts will travel about 240,000 miles to lunar orbit aboard Orion, at which point they will directly board one of the new commercial human landing systems, or dock to the Gateway to inspect it and gather supplies before boarding the landing system for their ...
Picking three providers allows NASA to have redundancy in case one company falls behind in development, Lisa Watson-Morgan, NASA's human landing system program manager, told reporters on Thursday. "I think we've got the potential for an incredibly exciting future in space with...
