NASA has announced the signing of a space exploration cooperation agreement with eight nations. The Artemis Accords, signed Tuesday by space agencies from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg and the United Arab Emirates, aim to create “a secure, peaceful and prosperous future in space for all mankind. “
the The Artemis program will see NASA send the first woman and the next man to the moon in 2024.
“Artemis will be the largest and most diverse international human space exploration program in history, and the Artemis Accords are the vehicle that will establish this unique global coalition,” said Jim Bridenstine, NASA Administrator.
The Artemis Accords, announced in May, provide a legal framework for exploring the Moon, Mars, comets and asteroids, as well as for disseminating scientific data, registering space objects and “preserving the heritage of outer space.” Space agencies are also committed to peaceful exploration, transparency, providing emergency assistance to those in distress, and “preventing harmful interference.”
More nations are ready to join the Artemis Accords in the future, NASA said.
