Building America’s Commercial Lunar Infrastructure - Voyager Technologies

NASA’s lunar surface infrastructure technologies will enable long-duration exploration and science missions for the Moon Base at the lunar South Pole with Artemis. Similar to when we build a new neighborhood here on Earth, we’ll need abundant power, water, landing pads and roads, and other foundational elements to support America’s long-term presence on the Moon. To support this, we are building technologies for generating and storing reliable power, extracting local resources that could be converted into drinkable water and oxygen, manufacturing and construction of landing pads and berms, and mitigation of abrasive lunar dust from critical systems. These technology advancements – tested on Earth, in simulated lunar gravity, and on the Moon – will enable long-term exploration and operations in the extreme environments of the lunar surface and pave the way for future human exploration of Mars. NASA’s Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) successfully demonstrated its ability to remove regolith from its various surfaces on the Moon during Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 in 2025.
