Help Build the Moon Base
The Moon Base represents one of the most ambitious engineering and exploration efforts in human history — and it cannot be achieved alone. NASA is partnering with commercial industry, academia, and innovators around the world to develop the technologies, infrastructure, and capabilities needed to establish an enduring human presence on the Moon. The future of lunar exploration will be built through collaboration, and NASA invites the global community to help shape what comes next.
Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator
NASA is seeking feedback on a draft solicitation for Appendix A: Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator under the NextSTEP-3 Omnibus Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), an effort to help develop emerging capabilities in the areas of surface power, radioisotope power, in-situ resource utilization, advanced manufacturing, and innovative nanomaterials needed for exploring the Moon and the cislunar region between Earth and the Moon. The draft is available for review by U.S. organizations, including industry, educational institutions, and nonprofits. Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator awardees will be expected to design, develop, and demonstrate prototype systems and generate validated performance data, analytical models, and operational insights through testing and demonstration activities to mature technology and manufacturing applications. The solicitation is posted on SAM.gov and is open for comment through July 17, 2026.

Moon Base Systems Tech Demonstrations
NASA is seeking innovative ideas from industry partners through Appendix B: Moon Base Demonstrations under the NextSTEP-3 Omnibus Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) which calls for industry-led demonstrations, risk-reduction, and special-topic activities that enable an enduring human presence on the lunar surface. The first directed call will focus on surface power, with follow-on directed topic calls in the areas of infrastructure, power systems, communications and positioning, navigation, and timing (C&PNT), transportation, mobility, habitation, autonomy and robotics, lunar science, and concepts of operation.

CLPS 2.0
NASA’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative is continuing into its next phase with CLPS 2.0, a follow-on effort designed to expand lunar delivery capabilities and support future Moon exploration goals. Building on lessons learned from earlier missions, CLPS 2.0 will continue supporting the delivery of science, technology, and infrastructure to the lunar surface and orbit while increasing flexibility, collaboration with industry partners, and long-term mission planning.
