Human Landing System (HLS)
The Human Landing System (HLS) is a spacecraft designed to transport astronauts from lunar orbit to the Moon’s surface and back. It acts as a lunar taxi, providing safe and reliable landing, surface exploration, and return capabilities. Developed through partnerships with private companies, the HLS aims to support NASA’s goal of returning humans to the Moon, enabling scientific research, technology testing, and future missions. It is an essential component for sustainable lunar exploration, helping humans establish a presence on the Moon and paving the way for deeper space travel.
