NASA Begins Phased Moon Base Construction Plan

Back to Intel

NASA’s updated plan begins permanent lunar-base development in 2026, with robotic landings starting in late 2026 or early 2027. The three-phase architecture targets initial operating capability by 2032 and eventual semi-permanent crew presence, creating the infrastructure needed for an autonomous Lunar Ark outpost.[1][2]
