The Artemis 4 crew will include one European astronaut.
, in 2028, will be the first ones to live and work in the small lunar outpost, Stephanie Dudley, the mission integration and utilization manager for Gateway, confirmed during an Aug. 2 presentation at the International Space Station Research and Development Conference here in Seattle.
Dudley added that the consequent Artemis 5 mission, currently scheduled for 2029, will carry a refueler for the lunar outpost. The European Space Agency , in partnership with Japan, will be providing the refueling module as well as the second habitat module. In return, European astronauts will receiveon board Artemis missions to get to and work on the lunar outpost and to touch down on the moon. Two of those missions will be Artemis 4 and Artemis 5, with the third one yet to be announced.
While Gateway will serve as a compact home for astronauts, it is being built such that it can operate autonomously without a crew for up to three years between missions, Dudley said., which has been continuously crew-occupied for over 20 years and is scheduled to retire in 2030. "It is not a stretch to say that Gateway is very much a part of ISS legacy," said Dudley during her presentation at the conference.
