NASA OIG: Artemis Campaign Restructuring Led to $5.9B in Terminated or Repurposed Systems with Multi-Year Delays

9h ago· 1 min readenNews

Summary

NASA's reformulation of the Artemis campaign led to the termination or repurposing of key systems including the Exploration Upper Stage, Universal Stage Adapter, Mobile Launcher 2, and Gateway Habitation and Logistics Outpost. Combined contract values for these efforts ballooned from $2.8 billion to $5.9 billion, with delivery delays of up to 7 years. The OIG projects that continued work would have resulted in even higher costs and longer timelines.

NASA’s reformulation of the Artemis campaign to meet the Administration’s national space policy goals resulted in the termination or repurposing of Artemis-related systems including the Exploration Upper Stage, Universal Stage Adapter, Mobile Launcher 2, and Gateway Habitation and Logistics Outpost.

The combined contract value of these efforts increased from $2.8 billion to $5.9 billion, with delivery dates extended by up to 7 years.

We project, if NASA allowed work to continue to completion, these systems would have cost more and taken longer to complete.
