WASHINGTON — Two lunar lander companies say they are ready to meet NASA's plans for a major increase in the cadence of such missions but offered few details about how they would meet that new demand.
In separate earnings calls March 19, Firefly Aerospace and Intuitive Machines said they endorsed plans discussed by top NASA officials, including Administrator Jared Isaacman, to fly robotic lunar landers to the moon as frequently as once per month.
"Administrator Isaacman's recent call for a monthly cadence of lunar landers to the moon's south pole, starting next year, is exactly the type of forward thinking that Firefly embraces," said Jason Kim, chief executive of Firefly.
