NASA’s plans to land both robots and humans on the moon have taken several steps forward. A solicitation for scaled-up robotic landers has been released by the Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, and plans for human moon landers have changed to make room for more innovation by private partners. NASA will be supporting the development of these vehicles with new partnerships, aiming to mature technologies for both Moon and Mars missions.
