X PRIZE Foundation Announces Competitors for Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge

“A real rocket race is on the horizon with the return of the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge — the centerpiece of the Wirefly X PRIZE Cup and Holloman Air and Space Expo. In the Challenge’s second year, the number of teams competing for the $2 million purse has increased from four teams to nine. The NG-LLC, sponsored by NASA’s Centennial Challenges Program, is designed to accelerate commercial development of technology that can ferry cargo and humans between the moon’s surface and lunar orbit.”
