“#NASA helps cement plan to return to the moon<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Though\u00a0NASA\u00a0may have trouble returning to the\u00a0moon\u00a0by 2024, the US space agency is doing what it can to eventually explore the lunar surface, announcing a formal partnership with Japan\u00a0for the lunar Gateway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NASA and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) formally announced the agreement that will see JAXA contribute to the Gateway, providing technical expertise, devices for life support and environmental control system, batteries, thermal control and imagery components.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to announce this latest agreement with Japan to support long-term human exploration on and around the Moon as part of the Artemis program,\u201d said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine in a\u00a0statement.<\/a> \u201cStrengthening our international partnerships and commitments to Artemis puts humanity on a solid path to achieve our common goals of sustainable lunar exploration by the end of this decade.\u201d<\/p>\n

A memorandum of understanding was signed between NASA and Japan at the end of 2020, the Japanese Foreign Ministry has said previously.<\/p>\n

In addition, the new agreement will allow opportunities for Japanese astronauts to access the Gateway, which NASA said \u201cwill be determined following additional discussions and documented in a future arrangement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLeveraging the capabilities that international partners contribute to Gateway will be key to enabling access to the lunar surface,\u201d added Kathy Lueders, associate administrator for the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters. \u201cWe are pleased to move forward in these groundbreaking efforts with Japan and our other partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gateway, which is app<\/a>roximately one-sixth the size of the International Space Station, will act as a \u201crendezvous point\u201d for astronauts travel<\/a>ing to the lunar orbit aboard the Orion spacecraft\u00a0before they make their way to low-lunar orbit and ultimately, the surface. It will be used for both robotic and human expeditions to both the moon and Mars.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe capabilities provided by Japan are critical to enabling the interior environment of the Gateway allowing our crews to live and work for longer durations,\u201d explained Dan Hartman, Gateway program manager at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston. \u201cWith the life support systems from Japan, longer duration missions for the Artemis crews can be accomplished with reduced demands on logistics resupply.\u201d<\/p>\n

Japan becomes the third international partner to commit to the Gateway. In October 2020, NASA and the European Space Agency signed a deal to cooperate on the Gateway. One month later, the US and Canada signed a deal to collaborate on the lunar outpost as well.<\/p>\n

The Gateway will be used as a base for NASA\u2019s Artemis lunar exploration program. In 2019, NASA\u00a0unveiled<\/a>\u00a0its vision for the Artemis moon lander that will return US astronauts to the lunar surface.<\/p>\n

The Artemis program, the successor to the Apollo program, is notable for a number of reasons, including its goals of sending the first woman to land on the lunar surface\u00a0and establishing a sustainable human presence on Earth\u2019s natural satellite.<\/p>\n

To date, only 12 people, all Americans, have landed on the moon.\u00a0The last NASA astronaut to set foot on the moon was Apollo 17 Mission Commander Gene Cernan\u00a0on Dec. 14, 1972.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
