NASA has issued a draft solicitation to advance critical lunar and cislunar technologies.

The focus: closing gaps in vertical solar arrays, ISRU oxygen production, Stirling radioisotope generators, in‑space manufacturing, and advanced nanomaterials.

These efforts aim to mature key systems, accelerating progress toward NASA’s Moon Base and near‑term missions.

Introducing Artemis III.

Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.

In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

[NASA @NASA]

UPDATE: The Artemis III event will start at 11:30am ET (1530 UTC) on Tuesday, June 9!
