NASA will host a media briefing on Tuesday, May 26 at 2 p.m. EDT to share updates on its Moon Base initiative and outline progress toward establishing a sustained human presence on the Moon. The event will take place at the agency’s headquarters in Washington.

During the conference, NASA leadership will discuss program advancements, including new industry partnerships and mission timelines. Key participants include NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and Lori Glaze, acting associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate. The session will also feature insights from Carlos García-Galán, who oversees Moon Base program development.

The Moon Base project is part of NASA’s broader exploration goals, focusing on the lunar South Pole as a strategic location for scientific research and commercial activity. This initiative supports future crewed missions to Mars by testing technologies and operational strategies in a challenging extraterrestrial environment.

The public can watch the briefing live on NASA+ and the agency’s YouTube channel. Media representatives interested in participating in person or via phone must RSVP to the headquarters newsroom by 11 a.m. on May 26.
