Nasa and the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have unveiled plans to deepen their space exploration partnership. The UAE is set to contribute a critical piece of infrastructure — an airlock module — to the Artemis Lunar Gateway, humanity's first lunar-orbiting space station.
The Artemis Lunar Gateway is designed to be a pivotal outpost for long-term lunar exploration and research, providing a habitat for astronauts and serving as a staging point for missions to the Moon's surface.
