Four Commercial Moon Base Landers Clear Testing Milestones Simultaneously

NASA announced that Blue Origin, Firefly Aerospace, Intuitive Machines, and Voyager Technologies each cleared major testing milestones for their Moon Base cargo landers around the same time: thermal-vacuum and comms checkouts (Blue Moon MK1 'Endurance'), autonomous landing sequence demo (Blue Ghost Mission 2/Elytra), long-range thermal-vacuum testing (IM-3 Nova-C), and mass-properties testing (Griffin-1). Voyager's Griffin-1 targets a late-2026 delivery; the other three target 2028.
