Formerly known as the Deep Space Gateway (DSG), the station was renamed Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway (LOP-G) in NASA's 2018 proposal for the 2019 United States federal budget. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] When the NASA budget was signed into law on February 15, 2019, [ 16 ] US$450 million had been committed by Congress to preliminary studies.
The Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO), [4] [5] also called the Minimal Habitation Module (MHM) and formerly known as the Utilization Module, is a habitation module that is part of the Lunar Gateway. [6] It will be built by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems.
The Deep Space Transport (DST), also called Mars Transit Vehicle, [6] is a crewed interplanetary spacecraft concept by NASA to support science exploration missions to Mars of up to 1,000 days. [ 4 ] [ 2 ] [ 7 ] It would be composed of two elements: an Orion capsule and a propelled habitation module. [ 3 ]

The Lunar Gateway is a space station to be constructed in lunar orbit, and the Gateway Logistics Services program will provide cargo and other supplies to the station, even when crews are not present. [143] As of 2022, only SpaceX's supply vehicle, known as Dragon XL, is planned to supply the Gateway.
On 22 February 2023, NASA discussed the Dragon XL's development for the first time since its 2020 unveiling, with Mark Wiese, NASA's manager of deep space logistics for the Gateway program, answering during a panel at SpaceCom that NASA has been working with SpaceX to run a series of studies to refine the Dragon XL design and examine cargo ...
The Lunar Gateway is an in-development space station being planned by several national space agencies since at least 2018, including NASA, European Space Agency (ESA) and Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The Gateway is planned to be placed in a novel lunar orbit that had never been used until CAPSTONE, where it is expected to serve as a ...
