The European Space Agency (ESA) is set to make a decision regarding its contributions to the Gateway lunar-orbiting station by June. This comes in light of recent changes to the Artemis program.
NASA's recent decision to halt work on the Gateway has raised questions about the future of this critical infrastructure, which was initially designed to support U.S. lunar ambitions.
The implications of ESA's contributions are significant for the overall architecture of lunar exploration, particularly in terms of international collaboration and operational capacity.
