"NASA Advances Gateway Integration Amid Launch Date Planning"

NASA's initial Gateway elements, the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Logistics Module (HALO), are preparing for systems installations as the agency reviews progress to set a new launch date. Originally scheduled for September 2025, the launch has been delayed, with a conservative estimate now set for December 2027. The Gateway will serve as a lunar space station for Artemis missions, with the PPE and HALO launching together on a Falcon Heavy rocket.
