Trump Orders Moon Return by 2028, Lunar Base by 2030

The order aims to ensure U.S. space dominance with a lunar return by 2028, a permanent moon base by 2030, and $50 billion in new space investments, officials said.

  • On Thursday , the White House issued a sweeping executive order that resets U.S. space policy, including returning humans to the moon by 2028 and establishing a lunar outpost by 2030.
  • The White House framed the order as a reset to ensure U.S. dominance in exploration, security and space commerce amid intensified global competition, linking space superiority to national security and economic interests.
  • OSTP must craft 60-day guidance for a National Initiative for American Space Nuclear Power, and NASA must submit a 90-day plan addressing objectives and mitigating technology, supply chain, or capacity gaps.
  • The Pentagon was ordered to develop prototype defenses by 2028, and the order aims to attract at least $50 billion in private investment by 2028, integrating commercial capabilities into U.S. military space systems.
  • NASA, OSTP and State are ordered to review international agreements, the order revokes Executive Order 14056 from Dec. 1, 2021, and removes free-service language so Commerce Department may charge fees.
