Advancing space settlement, exploration, and development to build a spacefaring civilization — together 🚀
NASA is advancing nuclear power and propulsion in space to accomplish President Trump’s national space objectives. With SR-1 Freedom, launching in 2028, we will demonstrate nuclear electric propulsion and deliver SkyFall helicopters to Mars. In collaboration with @Energy, these capabilities are key to future missions to Mars and beyond. A new chapter of deep space exploration begins. 🚀
To build a sustained human presence on the Moon, we are building @NASAMoonBase, prioritizing surface operations and scalable infrastructure. - Frequent robotic landings and mobility testing including MoonFall drones - Starting in 2027 nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon. - Investments in power, communications, and surface mobility - Scalable infrastructure to support long-term human presence The objective is clear: build the foundation for an enduring lunar base and take the next step toward Mars.
NASA is building on 25 years of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station. Before its decommissioning in 2030, we intend to: - Increase support for commercial crew PAM and cargo missions to the ISS - Maximize research missions in low Earth orbit with commercial potential - Help industry mature technical and operational capabilities - A future where NASA becomes one of many customers for commercial stations America will work with industry and our international partners to ignite a sustainable orbital economy. We will never surrender our presence in low Earth orbit.
