NASA’s Artemis program is advancing with Gateway, a lunar space station set to support astronauts and deep-space exploration.

Key progress includes near-completion of the HALO module in Italy, which will be integrated with the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) before launching aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy by December 2027.

ESA is developing communication and habitation modules, while Maxar is finalizing the PPE’s propulsion and solar arrays.

Gateway will serve as a hub for Artemis missions, with SpaceX and Blue Origin providing lunar landers, the Daily Galaxy has reported.

International partners, including Canada, Japan, and the UAE, are also contributing key systems.
