We're building a Moon Base! @NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions. Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: go.nasa.gov/4uinkLi



Latvia traveled to Washington, DC to sign the Artemis Accords, becoming the 62nd signatory, and the first of many nations to join after our @NASAMoonBase announcement. This growing coalition of like-minded nations is committed to the peaceful, transparent, and responsible exploration of space. At a critical moment for Artemis, partnerships like this strengthen our shared vision and expand the capabilities needed to build a sustained presence on the Moon. This is how we move faster, operate more effectively, and build the future of space together.

This week, @NASAAdmin announced major plans for the agency’s future at Ignition. Next week, @NASA returns America to the Moon. 🔋Ignition 🧑🚀 Artemis II set for April 1 🌕 @NASAMoonBase 👩🔬 Science missions 🚀 SR-1 Freedom brings nuclear to space & more in your NASA Minute!


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.
