NASA awards first Moon Base contracts under Isaacman's revised Artemis plan
NASA this month raised CLPS 1.0 to $4.2 billion, created a CLPS 2.0 contract vehicle with a $10 billion ceiling and eight eligible companies, and awarded Blue Origin $94 million (plus a $140 million option) for the PROMISE rover delivery. It also issued about $1.3 billion in VADR launch task orders for Moon Base Phase One and moved SLS toward a near-Block 1 configuration while halting Mobile Launcher 2 work. Next is a Marshall solicitation for Moon Base demonstrations under NextSTEP-3, with responses due January 4, 2027. · 1h ago
