Space exploration shouldn't be gated by legacy institutions. From sounding rocket payloads to lunar tabletop simulations and analog missions in Brazil, our community is actively building the future of space access on multiple continents.
Join us today for our latest Project Showcase featuring updates from 10 active projects funded directly by MoonDAO, approved by voters from the community.
SpaceX was founded to make life multiplanetary. Weβve been able to expand that mission with our Starlink constellation and AI solution

Four JPL-built propulsive drones β known as MoonFall β will survey the lunar surface at potential @NASAArtemis landing sites in unprecedented detail. The mission is part of the initial phase of the @NASAMoonBase initiative.

The entire event yesterday, launching missions, landers, rovers, tech demos building a Moon Base, and sci-fi capabilities like MoonFall, brought to you by those who Dare Mighty Things. Just the very beginning. What a time πΊπΈ
We have officially acquired Motiv Space Systems.
Motiv β now Rocket Lab Robotics β brings mission-tested Mars heritage with advanced multi-degree of freedom robotic arms, actuators, and drive electronics that have enabled some of the most ambitious planetary exploration missions in history, including NASA's Mars Perseverance rover.
We're now one of few companies in the world capable of delivering end-to-end Mars mission solutions including launch, spacecraft, software, and proven robotics for surface and on-orbit operations. This unique capability positions us to lead programs like Mars Sample Return mission and the Mars Telecommunications Network.
Successful stage separation test campaign β We're validating stage separation for Neutron, one of the most novel rocket separation systems ever designed.
From sep system design, component testing and qualification, GSE design, manufacturing, commissioning, and operations planning through to test execution - we're proving out the technology behind one of Neutron's most critical events for mission success.
Up next: moving into intentional off-nominal separation events with non-flight test articles to further push the system's resilience.
From this view, it's pretty clear why Florida is leading the global space industry. Happy National Space Day β we're proud to be where new ideas take off. π
Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket
Introducing the Moon Mascot for the Artemis II mission!
The zero gravity indicator for the Moonbound crew was selected from thousands of submissions from over 50 countries and is named βRise.β The design was inspired by the iconic Earthrise moment from the Apollo 8 mission.
Due to weather, we're now targeting early Wednesday, Feb. 25, to roll our Moon rocket off the launch pad and back to the Vehicle Assembly Building at @NASAKennedy. Get more @NASAArtemis updates on our blog: https://t.co/N6HJLLhuRw
Tune in on Thursday, Feb. 19, as we stream live coverage of our second fueling test for the Artemis II mission.
A news conference to provide details about the outcome of the rehearsal will be held on Friday, Feb. 20. More info: https://t.co/wIYVJxOfQ4
The ESCAPADE mission has won an @Erdayastronaut Astro Award! π
We're proud to be recognized for our role in making interplanetary exploration possible at unprecedented speeds and for a fraction of the cost of traditional missions.
