Gateway

In development

Gateway is an international lunar-orbit station led by NASA with contributions from CSA, ESA, JAXA, and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre. Its first elements are the Power and Propulsion Element and HALO habitation module; later elements add international habitation, logistics, communications, science, and an airlock. Gateway will support Artemis crews and robotic operations from a near-rectilinear halo orbit around the Moon.
