Program segments highlighted progress by commercial lunar lander teams: Firefly's Blue Ghost is being outfitted with payloads and electronics, Voyager's Griffin 1 is in environmental testing at JPL, Blue Origin completed major tests for Blue Moon Mark 1 with a projected New Glenn launch in Q1 2027, and Intuitive Machines' Nova C is moving toward hot-fire testing.

Idaho National Laboratory researchers described 'Vibrant,' an LED‑based surrogate reactor, and 'MAX,' a control testbed, saying the systems let developers test microreactor control hardware and software safely and supported work on MARVEL, an 85‑kilowatt microreactor under development at INL.
