UAE to Construct Airlock for Lunar Gateway, Joining NASA's Artemis Mission

The United Arab Emirates has partnered with NASA to build part of the lunar Gateway space station and send a UAE astronaut on a future Artemis mission, marking a historic moment in space collaboration. The UAE's space program, which includes successful Mars and lunar missions, will provide the Crew and Science Airlock module for the Gateway, allowing for crew and science to move from the station's pressurized environment into space. This partnership advances international cooperation in space and paves the way for deep-space exploration, with the UAE joining the U.S., European Space Agency, Japan, and Canada as partners on Artemis projects.
