00:00NASA is moving ahead with plans for a permanent moon base.
00:03The planned site is near the moon's south pole.
00:06More than 20 robotic landings are planned through 2029.
00:09These missions will test technology and deliver key infrastructure.
00:13NASA is working with several commercial space companies.
00:16Blue Origin is testing its Blue Moon MK1 lander.
00:20Firefly Aerospace is preparing its Blue Ghost Mission 2.
00:23The mission could make the first American landing on the moon's far side.
00:26Intuitive Machines is also preparing its IM-3 lunar mission.
00:31That mission will explore the unusual Reiner-Gamma region.
00:34Voyager Technologies is developing the Griffin-1 lander.
00:37It is expected to launch in late 2026.
00:40NASA says these missions will build experience for future operations.
00:44Robots will deliver scientific instruments and other essential equipment.
00:48The goal is to create a reliable supply chain to the moon.
00:52Those systems could eventually support astronauts living and working there.
00:55The moon base is being developed step by step.
00:58And these robotic missions are helping lay the groundwork for a sustained human presence.
