The next phase of the Artemis program will see a Japanese rover and living quarters delivered to the lunar surface.

NASA plans to assign lunar delivery missions to SpaceX and Blue Origin in order to prepare for long-term exploration of the Moon with the Artemis campaign.

Blue Origin has announced the date of its 28th space flight. The NS-28 mission will lift off with six tourists on November 22 when the launch window opens at 9 pm IST. NS-28 will be Blue Origin's ninth mission with humans and third of 2024.

The agency says the companies would supply landers that would carry equipment and infrastructure to the moon’s surface.
