NASA has awarded nearly $590 million in Commercial Lunar Payload Services contracts to Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace, and Intuitive Machines for three uncrewed lunar lander deliveries targeting late 2028. Astrobotic secured $297.9 million for two missions using its updated Peregrine lander, while Firefly and Intuitive Machines received $144.2 million and $148.3 million respectively for single missions with Blue Ghost and Nova-C systems. These awards bring NASA’s total CLPS lunar deliveries to 17 across multiple providers, all leveraging flight-proven lander designs to carry identical science payloads including SCALPSS cameras, LRA retroreflectors, and LETS radiation spectrometers. The investment accelerates long-term lunar presence development and validates repeatable commercial access to the Moon’s near side and south pole regions.
