NASA selected eight companies, including six US-listed firms, for its $10B Commercial Lunar Payload Services 2 (CLPS 2) program, allowing them to compete for lunar deliveries and Moon Base infrastructure missions through 2036. • Selected Companies: Firefly Aerospace $FLY, Intuitive Machines $LUNR, Lockheed Martin $LMT, Northrop Grumman $NOC, SpaceX $SPCX and Voyager Technologies $VOYG. Blue Origin and ispace US complete the roster. • Contract Terms: The $10B program ceiling is not guaranteed revenue; vendors compete for individual orders. An optional extension could raise the ceiling to $15B through 2041. • Firefly Aerospace: Building on Blue Ghost's successful 2025 Moon landing, Firefly is expanding lander and orbiter production, heavier cargo capabilities and AI-assisted landings. Its expanded facility accommodates 12 spacecraft. • Voyager Technologies: Griffin-1 completed acceptance testing for a planned late-2026 lunar South Pole launch carrying 10 payloads from six countries. Voyager can pursue larger landers, multi-lander missions, lunar-night operations and sample returns. • Separate NASA Awards: SpaceX $SPCX secured a 2028 Starship mission to deploy lunar communications satellites. Redwire $RDW received an award for power-generation components supporting a lunar communications and solar tower. • CLPS 1 Expansion: NASA raised the existing program's ceiling from $2.6B to $4.2B to support initial Moon Base infrastructure through 2028.
