2025 is going to be another big year for commercial moon missions
Briefly

As we approach late February, NASA is set to launch a lunar lander from Kennedy Space Center aimed at exploring the moon's sub-surface. Following a busy 2024 focused on commercial presence, 2025 promises multiple missions. Despite setbacks, like Astrobotics' Peregrine, success followed with Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus landing. With six upcoming missions under NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS), including Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost and Japan's ispace Hakuto-R, the year is packed with ambitious lunar objectives, enhancing future exploration viability.
The lunar lander set to depart from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is set to investigate beneath the lunar surface, marking a pivotal moment in lunar exploration.
2025 is anticipated to be a busy year for moon missions, with various partnerships and programs intensifying efforts in lunar exploration.
Following last year's challenges, 2025 aims to solidify commercial lunar exploration with multiple missions aiming to establish a consistent presence on the moon.
NASA's CLPS program remains central in 2025 as multiple private missions are set to explore and experiment on the lunar surface.
