NASA to increase value of CLPS contract to support surge of lunar lander missions - SpaceNews
Overview
NASA plans to increase the total value of its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contracting to support a proposed surge in robotic lunar lander flights tied to its moon base plans. The recent awards of hundreds of millions to companies for landers, rovers and drones operationalize that expansion and will fund more frequent deliveries and surface work. This procurement shift reinforces the agency’s move away from cislunar infrastructure toward surface logistics and raises programmatic and legal oversight questions.
