🚨 New Mission Alert: Lunar Outpost Europe Joins Moonraker Moon Mapping Mission for the European Space Agency 🚨

Lunar Outpost is joining mission prime @NUVIEWspace GmbH as part of the team developing Moonraker, a lunar LiDAR mission targeted for launch in 2030. Selected by the European Space Agency as part of a Phase A study under the Small Missions initiative, Moonraker will use LiDAR to map the lunar surface. High-fidelity surface maps generated by Moonraker directly increase the likelihood of successful lunar landings and assist mobility platforms in safe, efficient traversal planning.

As the Thermal Design and Model-Based Systems Engineering lead, Lunar Outpost's team in Luxembourg is developing novel thermal management solutions for Moonraker to withstand the extreme temperature swings in low lunar orbit.

TRUMP: Would you go to Moscow?

ZELENSKYY: It is difficult. There are lots of Ukrainian drones there. It's dangerous.

SpaceX has now launched more satellites than the rest of humanity, combined, all time.

Testing the next lunar rover.
Fun to go to the hottest place on Earth to help develop @Astrolab_Space's FLEX vehicle. It has multiple cool new tech ideas, to be used when the FLIP version rolls on the Moon soon.
Advances from both are being built into the CLV-1 Crewed Lunar Vehicle that @NASA chose for Moon Base - will go over 6 mph, directly and remotely piloted.

I was thinking about how this thing would make a lot more sense if they could use all that reactor to power a multi kilowatt radar system.

Over 50 years ago, Americans set foot on the Moon for the first time in human history during the Apollo missions. Now, humanity will return to the lunar surface and stay permanently.

While the Apollo-era introduced fast paced lunar exploration, Artemis aims to establish a continuous presence on the Moon via longer duration missions and the creation of a lunar outpost.

A new space race is afoot, and Apollo has handed the baton to Artemis.

The eclipse from Orion.

On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.

Throwback to digging deep with @coschoolofmines for NASA’s Break the Ice Challenge.

For 15 days, our Owl rovers excavated and hauled 12 metric tons of concrete‑hard regolith simulant, proving out the rugged hardware and excavation capabilities needed for real lunar construction.

This long term testing informed key subsystems that are part of the Eagle Lunar Terrain Vehicle. From regolith moving to building infrastructure, Eagle carries forward years of hardware‑validated excavation work to help build the Moon’s future.

From Owl to Eagle, our roots are in the regolith. 🌕

The Orion spacecraft successfully separated from the upper stage of the rocket, and the "proximity operations" test is underway. The Artemis II astronauts are manually piloting Orion similarly to how they would if they were docking with another spacecraft.

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

To achieve NASA's goal of building a Moon Base, mass production of lunar rovers must start now and Lunar Outpost is ready to deliver.

With more lunar rover missions than any company in the world and manufacturing facilities in Colorado, Texas, Australia, and Europe, we’re positioned to mass‑produce spaceflight‑proven robotic rovers alongside our partners, accelerating Artemis infrastructure by orders of magnitude.

Backed by low unit cost, a vertically integrated supply chain, high‑cadence production, and short integration timelines, Lunar Outpost is scaling the mobility infrastructure that will drive Artemis and a permanent Moon Base.

Imagine if intel officials told the media that Ukraine was sending intel and drone tech to Iran to help kill US forces. Or that ANY country other than Russia was doing it. Imagine the righteous rage from the Trump admin and the GOP. But when it's Russia, meek little mice.

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

These 5 spaceships should land on the Moon this year; several near the South Pole, with rovers/hoppers to explore that little-known, always sunny, water-rich region. In order:
- @blueorigin's MK1
- @Int_Machines' IM-3
- @astrobotic's Griffin-1
- China's Chang'e 7
- @FireflySpace's Blue Ghost
