Excerpt:
>Japan and the United States signed an agreement Friday to send a Japanese astronaut to Gateway, a lunar-orbiting space station to be built under NASA leadership, in exchange for the Asian country providing logistic transport and other support.
>The Japanese astronaut put on the space station under the deal will not be landing on the Moon, however. Such a possibility is to be determined through consultations in the future.
>Gateway is part of NASA’s Artemis program, a multilateral project originally intended to return humans to the Moon by 2024. The target date for the lunar landing has been delayed with NASA hoping for 2025 at the earliest.
>The two countries agreed that the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency will give support including batteries for Gateway’s Habitation and Logistics Outpost module, and transport provisions using its unmanned aircraft. Japan aims to start sending 4 tons of materials from around 2030.
