NASA is working with several American companies in 

multiple states, including Pennsylvania, to deliver science 

and technology to the lunar surface through the Commercial 

Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative. These companies 

of varying sizes will bid on delivering payloads for NASA, 

including payload integration and operations, launching from 

Earth and landing on the surface of the Moon.    

Sixty-three 

Pennsylvania suppliers 

contributed to NASA’s 

Artemis program. 

An example of the 

state’s contributions 

is providing various 

metals and composite 

materials for the 

rocket’s propulsion 

system.
