NASA Selects Companies to Collect Lunar Resources for Artemis

NASA has selected four companies to collect space resources and transfer ownership to the agency:

Lunar Outpost of Golden, Colorado;

Masten Space Systems of Mojave,California;

ispace Europe of Luxembourg;

and ispace Japan of Tokyo.

Overall, the new NASA contracts with these companies totals $25,001.

Space resources

will play a key role in NASA’s Artemis program and future space exploration.

The ability to extract and use extraterrestrial resources

will ensure Artemis operations can be conducted safely and sustainably in support of establishing human lunar exploration.

Moreover, in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) will play a vital role in a future human mission to Mars.

Like many other operations, ISRU activities

will be tested and developed on the Moon, building the required knowledge to implement new capabilities that will be necessary to overcome the challenges of a human mission to Mars.
