NASA Administrator Isaacman systematically unveiled the three-phase lunar base plan for the first time on a Bloomberg program: robots will arrive first in 2028, followed by humans. However, he emphasized that a "glass dome lunar base" is not the current goal, but rather a phased, down-to-earth construction approach.

The opening move of the entire plan is to establish infrastructure before any astronauts set foot on the lunar surface. Robots go first, humans follow. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman explained the three phases and a progressive roadmap during an interview on the Bloomberg Tech program. Isaacman explained in the interview that the plan will proceed in three clear phases. Phase 1 (2026-2029): Deployment of initial infrastructure. NASA has awarded key contracts to Firefly Aerospace to build the spacecraft responsible for delivering unmanned vehicles to the Moon, with a target launch date in 2028. Robotic systems will prepare the lunar environment in advance, awaiting the arrival of humans. Phase 2 (2029 to early 2030s): Establishment of permanent infrastructure, including power grids, to support the basic conditions for long-term human habitation. Phase 3 (2030s): Construction of specialized permanent living facilities, allowing astronauts to truly live on the lunar surface for the long term. Isaacman emphasized on the program that infrastructure must be in place before astronauts arrive. This means the logic of the entire plan is "pave the road first, then walk," rather than having humans build from scratch on a barren lunar surface. Artemis Mission: Lunar flyby in 2026, landing target in 2028 The lunar base plan is being advanced under the broader Artemis framework. On April 2 of this year, Artemis II successfully completed a crewed lunar flyby, a historic mission marking humanity's return to the Moon after half a century. According to the current schedule, NASA aims to execute the Artemis III mission in mid-2027, with the first crewed lunar landing targeted for as early as 2028, at which point two astronauts will step onto the lunar surface. The first phase of the lunar base plan is specifically designed to have the environment as ready as possible by the time these astronauts arrive. NASA has awarded lunar surface system contracts to multiple commercial partners, with the overall direction being to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon, serving as a stepping stone ultimately aimed at Mars.
