The first elements, PPE and HALO, are slated to launch together on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy . While there have been strategic shifts and debates about the station's role versus surface bases, the Gateway remains a critical "stepping stone" for sustainable deep-space exploration.
Gateway will serve as a laboratory in a way Earth-orbiting stations cannot. Because it is outside Earth's protective magnetic field, it offers a rare chance to study . Instruments like HERMES and ERSA will monitor solar wind and space weather to help protect future travelers headed for Mars. What’s Next? and JAXA (Japan) are building the I-Hab and
Unlike the ISS, which stays in Low Earth Orbit, Gateway will be positioned in a unique . This "halo" path allows the station to: Stay in constant contact with Earth.
For decades, the International Space Station (ISS) has been our primary home in the stars, orbiting just a few hundred miles above Earth. But a new era is beginning. As part of the Artemis campaign , NASA and its international partners are building —a small space station that will orbit the Moon. Why the Moon? A Global Collaboration The first elements, PPE and
