NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced Tuesday that three private aerospace companies have been chosen to deliver additional uncrewed landers to the lunar surface as part of the agency’s ongoing Artemis moonbase program.
Firefly Aerospace and Intuitive Machines each received contracts valued at $144 million, with each company tasked with sending one lander to the moon. Astrobotic was awarded a larger deal worth $280 million, covering two separate lander missions to the moon’s surface.
