Wednesday, Sept. 9  |  6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.


As humanity moves toward establishing a permanent presence on the moon, SpaceNews and the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C., are bringing together leaders from NASA and the commercial space sector to share an inside look at how they’re approaching the spaceflight, engineering and human challenges that lie ahead.


On Wednesday, Sept. 9, our next Discovery Series event will explore the latest plans for NASA's Moon to Mars architecture alongside the commercial opportunities, investments and policies needed to build and support work on the lunar surface for months and eventually years at a time.


Join us for a conversation with NASA, Firefly Aerospace, Astrolab and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) about how public and private partners are working together on lunar development, which capabilities and business cases are still needed and how they are preparing for continuous operations on the moon.
