NASA has announced the Artemis III crew for the first crewed lunar landing since Apollo 17 — targeting the south pole and its permanently shadowed water ice deposits.
Ice confirmed at the lunar south pole changes the economics of deep space exploration. How LCROSS found it, what ISRU means for a lunar economy, and why water on the Moon could be the most strategically important resource in the solar system.
China's lunar program in 2025 is on track: Chang'e 7 heads for the Moon's south pole, Long March 10 nears its first flight, and 17 nations have joined the ILRS. Here's where it all stands.
Venturi's MONA LUNA is a European commercial lunar rover targeting the Moon's south pole before 2030. Here's the mission architecture, the technology challenges, and what it means for European space ambitions.
Lunar regolith hazards go beyond abrasion. Razor-sharp, electrostatically charged, and potentially toxic to lungs — here's what makes moon dust a primary engineering challenge for every Artemis surface mission.
