Description

The Commercial Lunar Payload Services Program (CLPS) began in 2018 with the promise of bootstrapping a new, inexpensive lunar delivery economy; it was to be a pathway for lunar science to the Moon's surface. Since then, a handful of companies have been racing to get the first launches off, but it hasn't all been smooth sailing. Main Engine Cut Off's Anthony Colangelo joins Jake to talk about their progress, and what we should keep an eye on as the first launches approach.We talk Commercial Lunar Payload ServicesMasten files for BankruptcyDraper wins CLPS task orderVIPER Delayed by a yearMECO's coverage of CLPSFollow Anthony and Main Engine Cut OffMECO's Twitter (@wehavemeco)Main Engine Cut OffFollow Jake & WeMartiansWeMartians.comPatreon (https://www.wemartians.com/support)WeMartians Shop (shop.wemartians.com)Mailing List (https://wemartians.com/signup)Twitter (@we_martians)Jake’s Twitter (@JakeOnOrbit)Off-Nominal YouTubeMarsti.meArtemis 1 Launch EventsArtemis 1 is coming!
