"NASA has specified plans for a permanent lunar base, with three uncrewed missions launching in 2026. Moon Base I will test Blue Origin's lander; Moon Base III includes payloads from ESA and KASI. Contracts totaling $439 million were awarded for lunar rovers. The base aims to be habitable by the early 2030s, driven by competition with China's crewed lunar plans."
