Trump issued the Executive Order “Launching the Genesis Mission” on Nov. 24, 2025, creating a national mission to leverage artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific discovery. The mission is led by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and has now expanded to more than 15 federal agencies in a whole-of-government initiative. NASA is exploring how its missions, data, and expertise can support National Science and Technology challenges and help develop the powerful AI tools envisioned under the Genesis Mission, opening the door to faster breakthroughs, new knowledge, and discoveries that benefit the American people and help unlock some of the world’s greatest mysteries.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“America has invested for generations in the data, missions, and technical expertise that make NASA one of the world’s greatest engines of discovery,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “The Genesis Mission is an opportunity to turn that foundation into faster science, stronger engineering, and better mission outcomes. Leveraging our relationships with interagency counterparts, NASA can advance AI tools that accelerate exploration, strengthen American leadership in space, and open new paths to understanding our planet and the universe. Likewise, NASA is committed to applying our research and development to other initiatives within government for the benefit of American taxpayers.”</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NASA introduced new Genesis Mission National Science and Technology Challenges that center on two major priorities: strengthening America’s superiority in space and igniting a new era of innovation driven by more than 70 years of science and engineering by the agency.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To operate safely in a space environment that is growing more crowded and dynamic each year, and to maintain America’s leadership in space, NASA must develop advanced systems faster than traditional engineering methods allow. These systems must work together reliably across spacecraft, communications, logistics, surface operations, and other mission capabilities. By combining NASA’s mission expertise with the Department of Energy’s computing and AI capabilities, the Genesis Mission can shorten the path from concept to operational readiness and strengthen America’s ability to operate and lead in space.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NASA also will explore how AI can unlock new discoveries from more than 150 petabytes of data collected across decades of missions and research. NASA’s telescopes, satellites, orbiters, landers, and aeronautics programs have produced an extraordinary record of Earth, the solar system, and the universe, but the scale and complexity of these archives make it difficult to examine every observation using traditional methods. Advanced AI tools could help scientists connect data from different missions, instruments, simulations, and fields of study, identify patterns that might otherwise remain hidden, improve predictions, and reveal new discoveries in data that may have already been studied. By turning NASA’s mission archives into engines of discovery, the Genesis Mission can expand the return on generations of American investment in space and strengthen research across a wide range of scientific fields.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the Genesis Mission advances, NASA remains dedicated to harnessing its decades of scientific and mission data and engineering capabilities to accelerate new innovations and discovery.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For more information about NASA’s missions, visit:</span></p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="layout layout--1-column" style="table-layout: fixed;" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="column column--1 scale stack" style="width: 100%;" align="center" valign="top"> <table class="text text--padding-vertical" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;"> <tr> <td class="text_content-cell content-padding-horizontal" style="text-align: left;

The observatory will usher in a new era of cosmic surveys, unveiling troves of celestial objects and shedding light on some of the universe’s most profound mysteries, including phenomena we can’t see. Roman also will showcase cutting-edge technology, including a test of the most advanced technology ever flown in space to directly image planets around nearby stars, a key step in NASA’s search for life on other worlds.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">The Roman telescope is managed at NASA Goddard with participation by the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California; Caltech/IPAC in Pasadena, California; the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore; and a team of scientists from various research institutions. The primary industrial partners are BAE Systems Inc., L3Harris Technologies, and Teledyne Scientific & Imaging. Contributions to Roman also are made by ESA (European Space Agency), JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), the French space agency CNES (Centre National d’Études Spatiales), and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">For more information about NASA’s Roman telescope, visit:</p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="layout layout--1-column" style="table-layout: fixed;" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="column column--1 scale stack" style="width: 100%;" align="center" valign="top"> <table class="text text--padding-vertical" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;"> <tr> <td class="text_content-cell content-padding-horizontal" style="text-align: left;

Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace, and Intuitive Machines will deliver NASA science payloads to the lunar surface as the agency builds the first outpost on another celestial world.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">“These new awards to our commercial partners, totaling nearly $600 million to land more missions on the Moon with science payloads, demonstrate our commitment to accelerating our effort to build a long-term presence on the lunar surface, and give us more opportunity to develop the skills we need to prosper there,” said Lori Glaze, associate administrator for the Human Spaceflight Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">Astrobotic is awarded $297.9 million total for two deliveries, as well as Firefly Aerospace $144.2 million and Intuitive Machines $148.3 million for one delivery each as part of the agency’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative, a backbone of the Moon Base. Each will use updated versions of already-flown lander designs to enable NASA’s increased mission cadence.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">“We’re building a proving ground for Moon Base operations,” said Ryan Stephan, NASA’s Moon Base acting director of cargo landers. “Accelerating our Moon mission ordering cadence and launch opportunities enable us to move quickly to learn, iterate, and improve.”</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">With 17 lunar surface deliveries across multiple providers, NASA also announced new opportunities for American industry to contribute to the Moon Base. The agency is considering plans to send to the Moon, PROMISE (Polar Rover for Observation, Mapping, and In-Situ Exploration), an engineering development version of the Mars Perseverance rover. Agency experts will define potential opportunities for PROMISE to characterize the lunar surface, subsurface, and prospect for resources.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">In addition, NASA plans to solicit proposals in the coming months for lunar landers to deliver a power and avionics technology demonstration, another science manifest, and a South Pole optical imager. NASA also will share an open solicitation for Moon Base technology demonstrations and seek a lunar communication and navigation relay constellation to enable improved communication between Moon Base elements and Earth.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">The awards announced June 30 will play a critical role in establishing the infrastructure for lunar surface operations. The companies are responsible for initiating and executing procurements, providing an assessment of a similar previous lunar lander, and incorporating lessons learned to improve the overall mission reliability. <span><br></span></p> <p style="margin: 0;">Each delivery will carry three NASA payloads to the lunar surface:<span><br></span></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> <li>Stereo Camera for Lunar Plume Surface Studies (<a href="https://qlwo8rfbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GK_ROaVzURf7KA1O2ZI7Yt7dfUsz7mDf087srIgyDtg1-fhchokiwPA1-wLphoPK6c7V5bzzjQ7itckMWUkeMKAn34ZhS_IQxie8ybiXwA9uV50bzMQrk2S4jst_USS3EY4-VU20vaaJ9YNh4t_8yEv_HPRN6WmS_Jwd-Nq6zcYbZwEKQYbFkgERjPmRd7sZ&c=sx5fP7PSbKK92LSRwBumSW9Lr0h95-Ul_Exyc0vl3ybEQ1uAzQinqw==&ch=au0BbQ6wVFv6eznuCiUwDrK7xjZ6W0gqywwwVfhuvOXyyl_MPVZLUA==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: #0b3d91; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">SCALPSS</a>): An array of four cameras that uses a technique called stereo photogrammetry to produce a 3D view of the impact of an engine’s exhaust plume on lunar dust as the lander descends on the Moon’s surface. Collecting data from a variety of engine sizes, propellants, and landing locations, these high-resolution stereo images will aid in creating models to predict lunar dust erosion and ejecta characteristics, playing a vital role as bigger, heavier spacecraft and hardware are delivered to the Moon near each other.<span><br></span></li> <li> Laser Retroreflector Array (<a href="https://qlwo8rfbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GK_ROaVzURf7KA1O2ZI7Yt7dfUsz7mDf087srIgyDtg1-fhchokiwPA1-wLphoPKd5EsUWwrhaU7YbcCdF-cNeta5KFUQqaiSwGz3vGMqYPh9Fb-InUGNk_vUhs7c2WY56u0ldaskEYrqjUpNILuXlcvRJ6-NNH3p8FNhSQpr-ae2dvp0bMpjA==&c=sx5fP7PSbKK92LSRwBumSW9Lr0h95-Ul_Exyc0vl3ybEQ1uAzQinqw==&ch=au0BbQ6wVFv6eznuCiUwDrK7xjZ6W0gqywwwVfhuvOXyyl_MPVZLUA==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: #0b3d91; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">LRA</a>): Reflects laser beams transmitted by Moon orbiters or landing spacecraft to help them determine their orbit position or navigate to the surface. A small cookie-sized device made of eight quartz corner-cube prisms set into a dome-shaped aluminum frame, the array is passive, requiring no power or maintenance. These arrays have flown on previous CLPS landers and international lunar landers and will continue to be used to build a network of permanent location markers on the Moon for future exploration.<span><br></span></li> <li> Linear Energy Transfer Spectrometer (LETS): Helps to better understand the radiation environment from a variety of lunar transit approaches and at different locations on the lunar surface. Derived from heritage hardware, this radiation monitor uses a tiny, advanced silicon detector to measure the energy carried by incoming space radiation.
