(The Center Square) – A new federal watchdog report found contract values on canceled Artemis systems more than doubled, to $5.9 billion, and NASA still hasn't disclosed what its Moon-to-Mars program will cost.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and Moon Base program manager Carlos GarcÃa-Galán will hold a virtual briefing at 2:30 p.m. EDT June 30 to discuss the next round of lunar lander mission awards and preview upcoming contracting opportunities.
