Inside Lunar Gateway, The Future Home Base For Human Moon Exploration

A smaller replica of the International Space Station, which will orbit the Moon from the end of 2024, is currently under construction at the Thales Alenia Space plants in Turin. A guided tour.

This is where NASA and its longstanding partners — the European Space Agency (ESA), the Canadian Space Agency and the Japanese Space Agency — have chosen to set up the Artemis Base Camp, to take advantage of the ice lying at the bottom of the craters and the "peaks of eternal light" provided at this latitude by a Sun that never dips below the horizon.

This base camp has already been inhabited for several years: crews of two to four astronauts take turns there at regular intervals for missions lasting 30 to 60 Earth days — but it is still spartan.

Perched on the structure of the lunar lander, and itself topped by large solar panels rising vertically to capture the grazing light of the Sun, the Lunar Surface Habitat, with its 7.8-meter height and 4.4-meter diameter, offers our intrepid "moonwalkers" merely a cramped interior space and minimal comfort.
