Sweden Herald - Latest Sweden News | NASA: Bezos rocket damage could take until 2028 to repair by Sweden Herald AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told CNBC that repairing the damage from the recent explosion of Blue Origin’s New Glenn lunar rocket could take until 2028. The accident occurred during an engine test for a satellite launch, destroying the rocket’s sole launch pad and raising concerns for NASA’s Artemis lunar program, which depends on both Blue Origin and SpaceX. Isaacman emphasized the desire to see Blue Origin succeed and called for a thorough investigation before moving forward.

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | WATCH: NASA shares plans to construct moon base by Marcia Dunn, Associated Press AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. NASA announced its first‑phase moon‑base plans less than two months after Artemis II’s record‑breaking lunar fly‑by, awarding hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to four U.S. companies to deliver landers, rovers and drones. Blue Origin will supply a pair of landers that will carry lunar terrain vehicles built by Astrolab and Lunar Outpost to a site near the Moon’s south pole, while Firefly Aerospace will send the first drones to the lunar surface. The hardware is slated to arrive before the planned Artemis III crew landing, targeted for mid‑2027 with astronauts on the surface as early as 2028. Phase 2 (2029‑early 2030s) will add permanent infrastructure such as a power grid, and Phase 3 in the 2030s will debut specialized habitats for long‑duration stays, creating a sprawling base covering hundreds of square miles and marked by “MoonFall” drones at its corners. NASA’s goal is to spark a lunar economy, conduct scientific research and lay the groundwork for a future Mars expedition.

ABC News: Top Stories | NASA reveals new details on plan to build a base on the moon AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. NASA announced new details on its $20 billion lunar‑base program, outlining a phased approach that aims to return humans to the Moon by 2028 and eventually establish a permanent settlement. The first phase, already underway, will involve roughly 25 launches and 21 landings to demonstrate reliable technology and deliver about 4 metric tons of cargo, using private contractors such as Blue Origin (providing the Blue Moon lander), Astrobotic (delivering over 1,100 lb of supplies), Astrolab and Lunar Outpost (building rover vehicles), and Firefly Aerospace (supplying a spacecraft for lunar drones). Subsequent phases will expand infrastructure, test survival science, and install habitat modules, with the ultimate goal of creating a “lunar economy” that can sustain operations beyond government funding. NASA highlighted the harsh lunar environment—extreme temperature swings, radiation, and micrometeorite hazards—as both a challenge and a driver for pioneering technologies that will benefit life on Earth and future deep‑space missions.

Top Stories | SpaceX launches biggest model of Starship megarocket AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. SpaceX has launched the biggest, most powerful version of its Starship megarocket in a test flight from Texas, carrying 20 mock Starlink satellites before splashing down in the Indian Ocean. The upgraded “V3” Starship, 124 m tall with enhanced thrust, larger grid fins, stronger fuel lines and additional cameras and navigation systems, is intended to serve NASA’s Artemis program to land astronauts on the Moon and eventually support missions to Mars. NASA and Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin are each receiving billions of dollars to develop lunar landers, with Artemis III slated for 2027 and a potential crewed Moon landing as early as 2028, depending on which lander proves ready first. The successful launch marks the 12th test of the vehicle and a step toward both lunar and Martian exploration.
