NASA will test SpaceX and Blue Origin Moon landers before the next lunar landing

ScienceDaily

NASA will test SpaceX and Blue Origin’s lunar landers during the Artemis III mission in 2027. Astronauts will dock with prototype landers in orbit, simulating maneuvers for future crewed Moon landings. SpaceX plans to use its latest Starship design for these tests.

These trials are critical for refining hardware and safety protocols ahead of the first crewed lunar landing in 2028. The collaboration underscores NASA’s reliance on commercial partners for its Artemis program.

Investment implication: NASA’s trust in Starship solidifies SpaceX’s role in lunar exploration. For you, this partnership could translate into long-term government contracts and further validate Starship’s capabilities.
