建设月球基地一直是美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的首要任务。该机构近日又签署了新的合同,旨在为建立这座月球前哨站提供关键信息。
Firefly Aerospace Inc.、Intuitive Machines以及Astrobotic三家公司获得了合同,它们需在2028年底前将一套相同的有效载荷运抵月球表面。这三家公司此前都曾为NASA尝试或执行过向月球运送货物的任务,结果各有成败。
NASA科学任务理事会的一位负责人乔尔·卡恩斯周二表示,这些设备还将为NASA提供有关月球环境和着陆危险的新数据,并设置可在未来任务中使用的位置标记。
这些合同反映出,NASA正如何为其宏伟目标——让人类在月球上生活和工作——投入资金。
已同意被Voyager Technologies, Inc.收购的Astrobotic公司赢得了两项飞行任务,价值约2.98亿美元,负责将NASA的有效载荷运送到月球。Firefly Aerospace Inc.和Intuitive Machines各获得一项任务,价值分别为1.44亿美元和1.48亿美元。
受此消息影响,Voyager Technologies, Inc.的股价周二上涨了6.9%。Firefly Aerospace Inc.和Intuitive Machines的股价则分别上涨了1.2%和2%。
