    Spaceflight Now@SpaceflightNowDuring the second day of the 2026 Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium, Ian Clark, MoonFall Chief Engineer at @NASAJPL, gave an overview of the project and its timeline from concept to planned arrival at the Moon. "What is MoonFall? My project manager tells me it's a spectacularly crappy sci-fi movie. That was not the origin of the name.

We are similarly drones and well, we're not falling from the sky, but we're on the Moon, hence "MoonFall."2h
