"US Government's Commitment to Lunar Economy Development"

The United States is making strides in developing a lunar economy as part of the Artemis program, with NASA seeking to foster a thriving economy on the Moon. DARPA has initiated the LunA-10 study involving 14 companies to assess services such as power and communications on the lunar surface, with the goal of facilitating a lunar economy by 2035. DARPA has also issued a "Request for Information" for technological capabilities that could scale up lunar exploration and commerce, focusing on areas such as centralized heating and cooling to support lunar activities.
