What is the Gateway space station?

Gateway was an international space station planned to be in lunar orbit, serving as a docking point for future Artemis missions. The first two modules were planned to launch in 2027. The station would have included a habitation module from the European Space Agency, life-support systems from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and a robotic arm from the Canadian Space Agency. In 2026 NASA announced the Artemis program would concentrate on lunar landings and postpone Gateway development.
