A Look Inside NASA’s Future Moon Space Station

The last time humans went to the Moon during the Apollo missions, they were very limited technology and a lack of systems in place to support the expeditions. This affected where they could land, how long they could stay, what equipment would be brought with them, etc. On Artemis however, for the first time, we will see a dedicated Moon space station named Gateway. Much smaller than the International Space Station, this Moon orbiting outpost will provide core functions to keep astronauts healthy and thriving. Taking a look at the inside of Gateway, and you will find some unique systems and a small area, especially at the beginning. Over time, NASA and its partners plan to expand this station with more segments and technology. For the first missions, astronauts are expected to be exposed to somewhat of a cramped area with only so much room for movement and tasks. Here I will go more in-depth into what life inside the station will be like, how it compares to other space stations, its importance for humans’ return to the Moon, and more.
