• Paragon Space Development Corp. laid off 70 staff after contract termination.
• NASA halted work on the lunar Gateway program in March.
• Paragon was a subcontractor for life support systems on the HALO module.
• Northrop Grumman will reuse some HALO technologies on Lunar Infrastructure Demo missions.

The cancellation of the Gateway program may indicate a shift in NASA's priorities for lunar exploration. Paragon's layoffs suggest that subcontractors may be disproportionately affected by changes in government space programs, which could have broader implications for the industry's workforce and supply chain.
