Summary. This is a short page that points to open ways to take part. It contains one specific solicitation, "Lunar Surface Technologies", which seeks "technology development, risk-reduction activities, and ground-based testing to help close critical gaps". It also has a general "Share Your Ideas" contact.

Key points

  • Lunar Surface Technologies solicitation ("Lunar Surface Technologies"): "focuses on five key areas":

    1. vertical solar arrays for surface power
    2. oxygen production from lunar regolith
    3. radioisotope power generation
    4. in-space manufacturing
    5. advanced nanomaterials production

    The page links to SAM.gov; the solicitation itself has not been fetched. NASA's own pages about it are held: it is NextSTEP-3 Appendix A, the Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator (same name and the same five areas; the wiki's match) (NextSTEP-3 A page; September release).

  • The page frames the Moon Base as something that "cannot be achieved alone" ("Help Build the Moon Base").
