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 Lunar I-Hab [3] (formerly known as International Habitation Module, International Habitat or I-HAB) is designed as a habitat module of the Lunar Gateway station, to be built by the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA.
By 2018 NASA had begun considering use of a near-rectilinear halo orbit for a future lunar mission, [11] [12] and by 2020 an Earth-Moon L 2 NRHO had become the planned orbit for the NASA Lunar Gateway. The Gateway orbit will be a 9:2 resonant NRHO, [13] with a period of about 7 days and a high orbital eccentricity, bringing the station within ...
The European System Providing Refueling Infrastructure and Telecommunications (ESPRIT) is an under construction module of the Lunar Gateway. [1] It will provide refueling through additional xenon and hydrazine capacity for use in the Power and Propulsion Element 's ion engines and hydrazine thrusters.
CAPSTONE (Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) is a lunar orbiter that is testing and verifying the calculated orbital stability planned for the Lunar Gateway space station. The spacecraft is a 12-unit CubeSat that is also testing a navigation system that is measuring its position relative to ...
A close-up of a government-reference airlock module for the Gateway Space Station. Mission planning calls for an airlock to be delivered and integrated to Gateway by the crewed Orion spacecraft on the Artemis VI mission after launching on an Space Launch System (SLS) Block 1B rocket.
Artemis IV is a planned mission of the NASA-led Artemis program.The mission will include the fourth use of a Space Launch System (SLS) launch vehicle, will send an Orion spacecraft with four astronauts to the Lunar Gateway space station, install a new module on the Gateway, and conduct the second lunar landing of the Artemis program.
Co-manifested delivery of the I-HAB module to the Lunar Gateway, [10] [11] followed by a crewed lunar landing.
