The SpaceX launch and private lander contracts are part of NASA's CLPS initiative, supporting the Artemis moon exploration program and future lunar missions.
Blue Ghost will conduct environmental tests on lunar dust and electromagnetic fields, aiming to enhance our understanding of the Moon's surface prior to human landings.
Resilience will embark on a longer, energy-efficient path to the Moon, carrying various payloads that will further NASA's Artemis objectives, including radiation and food production experiments.
Both landers represent a significant step in NASA's goals for lunar exploration, using commercial partnerships to expand capabilities and gather critical data for future crewed missions.
