The new space station - #LunarGateway is now planned to be launched on board of Falcon Heavy no earlier than 2025. It will reach Moon's orbit in 2026. Full details can be found on the #NASA's website (link in the comments ⤵️) #MoonRace

🇯🇵#SLIM lander survived a third lunar night! JAXA sure has some tricks up it's sleeve in order to survive at -200C :) #MoonRace

🇯🇵#Toyota's #LunarCruiser is cool! Rated at 10 000km and 10 years of life, the self-sufficient lunar vehicle can host humans with no space suits. It can survive the 14 days of lunar night thanks to it's hydrogen fuel cell, while producing oxygen. Click ALT for more #MoonRace

🇨🇳#CNSA confirmed that the #Queqiao2 lunar relay satellite passed in-orbit communication test. Picture taken by the satellite shows the #Moon and the Earth in the background. Queqiao-2 will support the #Change6 sample return mission and all future ones. #MoonRace

As if NASA heard my comment that spending $1.98bn on a simple #Moon buggy (pic1) compared to Japan's pressurized rover by #Toyota is not wise. #MoonRace

What #LunaNet, Lunar GPS, Wi-Fi have in common? Timing! They all count on very accurate timing. However, time behaves differently on the #Moon, so 🇺🇸US gov pushes #NASA to develop LTC. A lunar version of Earth's UTC - Coordinated Universal Time. Full details link ⤵️ #MoonRace

The new #Moon Buggy will be made by #Astrolab. The company was awarded $1.9B by #NASA, together with #AxiomSpace and Odyssey Space Research to build the new Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV). It will be based on their FLEX rover prototype. #MoonRace

Did you know that 🇯🇵#SLIM lander managed to land after one engine failure thanks to it's angled engine design? #JAXA said it did. SLIM managed to survive 2 lunar nights with a "slim" chances for a third night. Next wake-up is expected (hopefully) at the end of April. #MoonRace

Sleep tight, #SLIM! Waiting to see if you can make it through a third lunar night! Expected wake-up date is ~April 30th. #MoonRace

🇰🇵North Korea also wants a piece from the Moon. #NATA's plan is to develop #Chollima Heavy rocket and use it to launch the lunar orbiter #Cheonsu1 by 2025. #MoonRace
