Scientists want to put ultrastable lasers inside the moon's coldest craters to create a GPS-like navigation system for future astronauts. The permanently shadowed craters near the south pole offer the perfect natural conditions for precision laser technology.
Space companies are shifting from short lunar missions to building permanent moon infrastructure designed for humans to live and work there by 2030. Voyager Technologies and partners are creating habitats, power systems, and life support that can handle the moon's harsh conditions.
A $300 million deal just brought the U.S. closer to establishing a permanent base on the moon by 2028. Pittsburgh's Astrobotic, which launched America's first commercial lunar lander, is joining forces with Voyager Technologies to accelerate lunar infrastructure.
America's lunar ambitions just got a major boost as Voyager Technologies acquires Astrobotic, the Pittsburgh company building the infrastructure to establish a permanent moon base. The $300 million deal brings together landing technology, power systems, and reusable rockets under one roof.
You don't need fancy equipment to contribute to real lunar science. The March 2026 total lunar eclipse offers three simple projects anyone with clear skies can tackle.
On Tuesday morning, March 3rd, a total lunar eclipse will paint the full moon crimson as it passes through Earth's shadow, visible across North America with no special equipment needed. After this one, the next total lunar eclipse won't grace our skies until 2029.
Graduate students across two nations will compete to design technology for the moon's surface, backed by up to $300,000 in funding. The US-UAE partnership aims to prepare the next generation of space innovators through hands-on lunar mission planning. #
Small farmers in Punjab, India are getting a technological lifeline through a new partnership with South Korea. The collaboration will bring advanced farming tools and vertical farming expertise to help make agriculture profitable again.
NASA just announced its ambitious Moon Base program, launching three unmanned missions starting in 2026 to prepare for humanity's first return to the Moon since 1969. The missions will test equipment, map landing sites, and build infrastructure for a permanent human presence on the lunar surface.
A private space company is about to send the first commercial lunar rover to the Moon carrying four NASA experiments that could unlock secrets about future moon bases. The mission launches later this year, marking a new era of public-private space exploration.
College teams just showed NASA how the next generation plans to power the moon. MIT students took top honors at NASA's 2026 innovation competition with a breakthrough lunar energy system that could support future Artemis missions.
NASA is shifting from racing to the Moon to building a permanent home there. The agency's revamped Artemis program now prioritizes creating reliable systems for humans to live and work on the lunar surface long-term.
NASA is teaming up with Japan and India to scan the Moon's South Pole for water ice that could let astronauts breathe, refuel rockets, and build a lasting lunar home. The mission launches in 2028 with a special tool that spots hidden ice without drilling.
For the first time in over half a century, humans have reached the moon's gravitational sphere, marking a historic return to lunar exploration. The four-person Artemis II crew is breaking barriers and witnessing sights no human has ever seen with their own eyes.
Astronauts watching a solar eclipse from the moon spotted meteorite impacts in real time, giving NASA crucial data for designing structures that can withstand the lunar surface's harsh conditions. The observations came just days after the historic Artemis II mission brought four astronauts closer to the moon than anyone in over 50 years.
NASA just announced an ambitious plan to ramp up to monthly moon landings, transforming space exploration from occasional missions into a regular delivery service. The agency aims to complete 73 robotic missions over the next decade, building the foundation for a permanent lunar base.
Two space companies are joining forces to build expandable homes on the moon, racing to meet a White House goal of a permanent lunar base by 2030. Their innovative inflatable technology could give astronauts comfortable living spaces millions of miles from Earth.
A Seattle company just won a NASA contract to develop technology that extracts fuel and oxygen from lunar soil. This breakthrough could help astronauts live on the Moon without constant resupply missions from Earth.
