NASA Asks Commercial Companies to Collect Moon Rocks



Space Resource Solicitation – While we’re working to meet the near-term goal of landing the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, our Artemis program also is taking steps that will establish safe and sustainable lunar exploration.

This week, we released a solicitation asking for commercial companies to collect space resources – a small amount of Moon “dirt” or rocks from any location on the lunar surface, then provide image proof of the collection along with data about the location, and conduct an “in-place” transfer of ownership of the material to NASA. Our agency will determine retrieval methods for the transferred lunar regolith at a later date.
