CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — NASA is already commissioning lander modules, exploration vehicles, and drones for an extensive lunar base, less than two months after the historic lunar flyby of the Artemis II mission. The space agency unveiled the first phase of its lunar base plans on Tuesday, awarding contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars to four American companies. Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos's company, will supply a pair of lander modules to transport lunar vehicles to the surface of the Moon, specifically near its south pole. These vehicles, referred to as 'lunar terrain vehicles,' will be manufactured by Astrolab and Lunar Outpost. Firefly Aerospace, which successfully landed on the Moon last year, will be responsible for delivering the first drones to the satellite.
