NASA Kennedy Breathes Life into Moon Soil Testing

As NASA works to establish a long-term presence on the Moon, researchers have reached a breakthrough by extracting oxygen at a commercial scale from simulated lunar soil at Swamp Works at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The achievement moves NASA one step closer to its goal of utilizing resources on the Moon and beyond […]

NASA Advances Precision Landing Technology with Field Test at Kennedy

Landing on the Moon is not easy, particularly when a crew or spacecraft must meet exacting requirements. For Artemis missions to the lunar surface, those requirements include an ability to land within an area about as wide as a football field in any lighting condition amid tough terrain. NASA’s official lunar landing requirement is to […]

NASA’s Lunar Drill Technology Passes Tests on the Moon

Editor’s note: This article was updated on April 29, 2025, to correct the amount of data collected during Intuitive Machines’ IM-2 mission. NASA’s PRIME-1 (Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment 1) mission was designed to demonstrate technologies to help scientists better understand lunar resources ahead of crewed Artemis missions to the Moon.
