Executive Summary
is in a new, high-stakes space race with China, which is now considered a 'peer' competitor whose technological pace rivals that of SpaceX.
NASA's Artemis program aims to establish an enduring human presence on the moon, with Artemis 3 scheduled for 2027 and Artemis 4 targeting a lunar landing in 2028.
The strategy relies heavily on public-private partnerships with companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, with NASA creating demand for dozens of landers and rovers to bootstrap a commercial lunar economy.
Beyond the moon, NASA is pursuing ambitious, government-led projects in nuclear propulsion (SR1 Freedom) and deep space exploration (Dragonfly mission to Titan) to push technological boundaries and attract top talent.
