The Lunar CATALYST (Lunar Cargo Transportation and Landing by Soft Touchdown) initiative was a NASA effort to encourage the development of robotic lunar landers that could be integrated with United States commercial launch capabilities to deliver payloads to the lunar surface. In 2014 NASA selected three companies for Space Act Agreement partnerships and in 2019 all three were selected for the follow-on Commercial Lunar Payload Services program.
