The NASA of today is a whole lot different than the agency that first sent humans to the Moon. While those projects were almost entirely in-house, today’s NASA relies heavily on commercial partners large and small to make its missions happen. Now, NASA is putting out yet another call for companies that can help it accomplish its goals, and this time around there’s some heavy lifting required.
The agency wants pitches for new technologies that can deliver heavy payloads to the lunar surface. In its call, NASA notes that it needs ways to send “science and technology payloads” to the South Pole of the Moon, and that the companies it chooses will be helping with the Artemis program which will eventually see humans sent to the Moon.
