Artemis Accords

NASA is reportedly developing infrastructure for a permanent Moon base ahead of sending astronauts to the lunar surface, according to circulating coverage of the agency's Artemis-related plans. The approach would see habitats, power systems and other essentials built robotically first, so crews arrive at a partially prepared outpost. The report is drawing attention as NASA continues working toward its next crewed lunar landings.

Artemis outperformed its rivals at the starts in Geneva, according to race data analysis. A breakdown of the numbers shows how the team gained an edge off the starting line, converting strong positioning into an advantage over the fleet on Lake Geneva during the SailGP event.

Signatories of the Artemis Accords are set to meet to address how to manage debris on the Moon and how established space powers can assist countries with emerging space programs. The talks reflect growing operational activity around lunar missions and the need for shared norms as more nations participate in NASA-led exploration efforts.
