To support and enable future human missions to the surface of the Moon, a new plan was formulated to gradually develop an economical, evolvable and sustainable lunar infrastructure using a public/private partnerships between NASA and industry to share cost and risk in the development phase and ultimately transfer operation of these infrastructure services to its industry owners. These infrastructure services may include but are not limited to the following: lunar cargo transportation, power stations, energy storage devices, communication towers and relay satellites, and resource extraction operations. The plan is called the Commercial Orbital Transfer Services (COTS) Program, using NASA's well-proven Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) Program acquisition model.
