NASA has announced plans to use cargo landers developed by SpaceX and Blue Origin to deliver heavy equipment to the Moon in support of its Artemis missions. Each lander will be designed to carry between 26,000 and 33,000 pounds of cargo to the moon beginning in 2032.
NASA had previously asked both companies to develop cargo-hauling variants of their landers, capable of carrying between 26,000 and 33,000 pounds of equipment and other materials to the Moon. The agency believes that having two lunar lander providers with different approaches for crew and cargo landing capability will provide mission flexibility and ensure a regular cadence of Moon landings for continued discovery and scientific opportunity.
The pressurized rover that SpaceX will deliver to the Moon’s surface will play a crucial role in the Artemis missions, enabling astronauts to explore larger areas and conduct more extensive scientific research. The lunar surface habitat, to be delivered by Blue Origin, will provide a safe and comfortable living space for astronauts during their extended stays on the Moon.
