. Now, NASA is requesting funds for the second lunar it wanted from the start. About $1.486 billion is being allotted for human landing systems, according to NASA’s own budget documents, though the documents did not specify the funding for the individual landers.
Along with hardware for human missions, the new budget request calls for an additional $486 million to fund robotic lunar missions to help better understand the Moon’s terrain. One such mission includes the VIPER rover to “investigate ice deposits that could provide future astronauts with fuel and oxygen.
