NASA has just launched a new website for its... Moon Base missions, which aims to build a permanent $20 billion U.S. base on the Moon. SpaceX's Starship rocket will play a big role in these missions. "The Moon Base is a home away from Earth for Artemis astronauts who will live and work at humanity’s first lunar outpost. NASA is leading global teams of innovators across international space agencies, industry, and academia to build the Moon Base and establish an enduring human presence near the lunar South Pole for the benefit of all. Phase One (Now–2029): Experiment and Learn NASA will begin with a rapid series of robotic missions to scout the lunar South Pole region, test technologies, and prepare for surface operations ahead of future astronaut missions.: • A major increase in lunar activity, with up to 25 missions, including 21 landings. • Crewed and autonomous rovers for mobility demonstrations and surface preparation, along with four drones known as MoonFall and communications relay and observation satellites. • Early demonstrations of power, navigation, communications, and nuclear radioisotope heater unit technologies designed to endure the long lunar night. • Scientific payload opportunities integrated across landers and rovers. • The first tangible footprint of Moon Base effort, with four tons of payload delivered to test what works on the lunar surface. Phase Two (2029–2032): Early Habitation By 2029, NASA will transition to assembling semi-permanent infrastructure and initiating early habitation and logistics operations: • Deployment of expanded solar power systems and initial nuclear surface power capabilities, potentially including fission reactors and radioisotope power systems. • Upgraded rovers, potential advanced MoonFall drones, and early habitation elements. • Enhanced surface-to-orbit communications networks to provide reliable connectivity across the lunar South Pole region. • Delivery of up to 60 tons of cargo through as many as 24 landings using low-, medium-, and heavy-class cargo landers. Phase Three (2032 and Beyond): Sustained Human Presence This phase will scale operations to achieve a true enduring presence, with routine crew rotations and continuous surface activity. This is when living and working on the Moon becomes a reality: • Semi-permanent habitation modules with spacious interior for crew living and operations. • Operational fission surface power systems capable of delivering steady, reliable energy through the long lunar nights, leveraging in situ resource manufacturing. • Advanced logistics networks supported by crewed and autonomous rovers to keep the base supplied and functioning year-round. • Delivery of up to 38 tons of cargo annually to sustain habitats, power systems, logistics operations, and major science outposts, enabled by low-cost reusable heavy-lift capabilities."

At the command post of the 82nd Air Assault... Brigade, I spoke with the commanders about the situation in their sector of the front and the needs of the warriors. Changes in approaches to contract service, procurement of pickup trucks under a simplified procedure, and protection against drones on the frontline – all these issues were covered as well. I greatly value this kind of dialogue with our military. There will certainly be decisions on all these matters. Thank you for the meeting. I am grateful to the warriors for defending Ukraine. We will do absolutely everything to ensure our warriors have the maximum support to carry out their missions.show more

🚀🇺🇸 The U.S. Missile Defense Agency has awarded Northrop... Grumman an additional contract modification to accelerate the development of the Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) hypersonic interceptor. The value of the agreement is $475.3 million, bringing the total contract amount to $1.31 billion. The revised contract sets an accelerated development timeline, with a target completion date of June 2028. The GPI interceptor is designed to engage hypersonic glide vehicles during their glide phase, when they are no longer powered by engines. This phase occurs after separation from the booster and before the final descent toward the target. It is particularly challenging due to the weapon’s high speed and maneuverability.
