NASA and International Partners Sign Artemis Accords

On October 13, 2020, NASA and international partners from Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom signed the Artemis Accords agreements for international participation in the agency’s Artemis program, during a virtual meeting of the International Astronautical Congress.

While NASA is leading the Artemis program, international partnerships will play a key role in achieving a sustainable and robust presence on the Moon while preparing to conduct a historic human mission to Mars. International cooperation on Artemis will bolster space exploration and enhance peaceful relationships between nations. The Artemis Accords will also reinforce the principles of the Outer Space Treaty.

Even as a luxemburgish, I was very surprised that NASA collaborated with the Luxembourg Space Agency. I didn't even knew that it exists

[ericflyingraccoon]

I don't know why but I became teary-eyed.

[rambunctiousbearguy]

I really hope this doesn’t get canceled by the next administration, but that seems very unlikely because this is so far ahead compared to the past plans that were canceled

[saswotlamichhane]

Now I don't need another space war or race, I need international partnership!

When humans realize that our future lies among the stars, we will become a civilization of unstoppable coexisting force of nature. This is AMAZING!!!!
