Eleven companies have been named in the latest batch of NASA’s Tipping Point partners that will develop technologies that could support lunar surface and space exploration missions.
The agency said Tuesday it expects to contribute a total of $150 million to fund the projects and each award recipient will shoulder at least 10 to 25 percent of the project’s total cost.
NASA’s space technology mission directorate will issue milestone payments to each awardee under Space Act agreements that could run for up to four years.
