The Gateway to our future on the Moon!
Future
#Artemis astronauts will live and work aboard a lunar orbiting space station called Gateway. Built with international and commercial partners, Gateway will help us maintain a long-term human presence on the surface of the Moon.
On Jan. 7, NASA and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) continued the promise of international partnership. The UAE will provide Gateway’s Crew and Science Airlock module, to be deployed during the Artemis IV mission. The airlock will enable groundbreaking deep space science on humanity’s first-ever space station around the Moon.
NASA will also fly a UAE astronaut to Gateway on a future
#Artemis mission.
