Opening in 2027!

By as early as 2030, NASA and international partners plan to establish an enduring base on the Moon with an eye on Mars. Driven by this goal, scientists and engineers are pushing the envelope of space technology in humanity’s odyssey to become a spacefaring species. 

We will meet a new generation of astronauts who are training differently to become the first humans to stay on the Moon and set foot on the Red Planet. They are preparing for hostile conditions such as microgravity in space, lunar dust, extreme temperatures, radiation, no power, isolation and communication delays with Earth. To achieve their historic missions, our astronauts will rely on a plethora of innovations, including more powerful spacecraft, space agriculture, cellular networks, habitats, robots and rovers. 

From the Moon and Mars, we seek to venture beyond our own solar system to reach new star systems and perhaps another galaxy, in a future closer than we think.
