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.
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 3,000 kilometers (1,900 mi) of the lunar north pole at closest approach and as far away as 70,000 kilometers (43,000 mi) over the lunar south pole.

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.
Power and Propulsion Element, a core module of the Gateway that will power ESPRIT once docked and maintain the station's orbit; Habitation and Logistics Outpost, the first habitation module of Gateway, featuring the port that ESPRIT will dock to; Lunar I-Hab, the second habitable module of Gateway, formerly known as International Habitation Module

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.
The Gateway Spaceport's design is inspired in part by the ideas of Wernher von Braun, who pioneered in the field of human spaceflight.It has been designed to connect people from all over the world so we can make this first step together by being a staging point between spacecraft from Earth and from other space stations, the moon and outer planets.
