In Arizona, a new chapter of space exploration is taking shape. HALO—Gateway’s first habitation module—is moving closer to completion. NASA and its partners are preparing to live, work, and explore more of the Moon and venture deeper into space than ever before. This is how humanity goes further. go.nasa.gov/4cS3rCT

🌍➡️🌕 The Lunar Gateway Launch, mapped. Gateway's first elements, the Power and Propulsion Element and HALO, will launch together to lunar orbit, where they’ll set the stage for #Artemis IV: the first Gateway assembly mission. During that milestone mission, the Artemis IV crew will deliver @esa's Lunar I-Hab, dock it to HALO, and enter the station for the very first time. go.nasa.gov/42ST52d

Infographic showing the Lunar Gateway Launch and path to lunar orbit. The Gateway space station’s first two elements, the Power and Propulsion Element and the HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost), will launch together aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The infographic outlines each step of the journey, beginning with launch and progressing through booster separations, engine burns, and spacecraft separation. PPE’s solar electric propulsion system then guides the elements through multiple orbital phases: spiral, alignment, and ballistic, followed by lunar flybys. The final phase places Gateway into a unique Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) around the Moon, where it will stage for NASA’s Artemis IV mission. Credit: NASA/Gayle Dibiasio.
