The Gateway Objectives
NASA shall establish a Gateway to enable a sustained presence around and on the Moon and to develop and deploy critical infrastructure required for operations on the lunar surface and at other deep space destinations.

– The Gateway shall be utilized to enable human crewed missions to cislunar space including capabilities that enable surface missions. (Crewed Missions)

– The Gateway shall provide capabilities to meet scientific requirements for lunar discovery and exploration, as well as other science objectives. (Science Requirements)

– The Gateway shall be utilized to enable, demonstrate and prove technologies that are enabling for Lunar missions and that feed forward to Mars as well as other deep space destinations. (Proving Ground & Technology Demonstration)

– NASA shall establish industry and international partnerships to develop and operate the Gateway. (Partnerships)

Artemis program (solid contrast with wordmark).svg
A faithful recreation of the official insignia of the Artemis program, an initiative by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon. The program, which began in 2017 as a then-unnamed campaign of the agency's Moon to Mars program, aims to place an outpost on the lunar surface at the South Pole–Aitken basin by the end of the 2020s, through the aid of crewed scientific missions that will explore the environment of the lunar south pole utilising the Orion spacecraft, the Lunar Gateway space station, a Human Landing System, and various other contributions from commercial and intergovernmental organisations from various countries. The logo of the program, coloured in "Earth blue, rocket red and lunar silver", incorporates an arrowhead from the quiver of the mythological Artemis with a depiction of a trans-lunar injection trajectory. Recreated in an unspecified program, this solid-colour variant of the logo – edited for better contrast with white backgrounds – is referenced from animations used by NASA in promotional material, featuring solid colours instead of the insignia's original gradient-coloured design. The edited colours are based on those found in the aforementioned gradient-coloured design, referenced from resources published by NASA.

Orion Spacecraft ArtemisI DEC2019 PBS.jpg
NASA’s Orion spacecraft–the crew module and European-built service module—is being lifted into a thermal cage and readied for its move on Tuesday into the vacuum chamber at NASA’s Plum Brook Station for testing. Testing begins with a 60-day thermal test, where the spacecraft will be subjected to temperatures ranging from -250 to 300-degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it can withstand the harsh environment of space during Artemis missions. These extreme temperatures simulate flying in-and-out of sunlight and shadow in space using Heat Flux, a specially-designed system that heats specific parts of the spacecraft at any given time. Orion will also be surrounded on all sides by a set of large panels, called a cryogenic-shroud, that will provide the cold background temperatures of space.

NASA's Artemis 1 mission patch

• Artemis 1 lays the foundation for the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, as well as a regular cadence of missions thereafter near the moon and beyond.
• The Artemis 1 patch features the launch of the SLS at the center of its triangular design. The rocket is depicted lifting off from Complex 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The major SLS components are shown in simplified form, including the orange insulation-covered core, two side-mounted five-segment solid rocket boosters and the shuttle-legacy RS-25 engines at the base of the core.
• The Orion spacecraft and its European-built service module are mounted on top of the booster. Atop the Orion is its launch abort system tower.
• At the base of the patch, protruding from the launch plume, are the three spires of the pad's lightning protection system and the gantry tower that is part of the new SLS mobile launcher.
• The scene is set against the backdrop of a nearly full moon. Red and blue vectors, jetting out beyond the border of the emblem, wrap around the white celestial body, symbolizing the Artemis 1 flight trajectory, while also infusing the colors of the U.S. flag to the insignia.

NASA's description:

• The artwork for Artemis I, formerly Exploration Mission-1, showcases the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft and lifting off from Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The triangular shape represents the three main programs that comprise NASA’s Deep Space Exploration Systems: Orion, SLS, and Exploration Ground Systems, and is a classic shape for NASA mission emblems dating back to the shuttle era.
• Several elements within the design carry symbolic meaning for this historic flight. The silver highlight surrounding this patch gives nod to the silver Orion spacecraft, including the European service module that will be voyaging 40,000 miles past the Moon in deep space. The orange rocket and flames represent the firepower of SLS. The setting is historic Launch Pad 39B, represented by the three lightning towers. The red and blue mission trajectories encompassing the white full Moon proudly emphasizes the hard work, tradition, and dedication of this American led-mission while also embracing NASA’s international partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) as both agencies forge a new future in space.
• The Artemis I emblem was designed in collaboration by the creative team working for the Deep Space Exploration Systems programs, which includes Orion, SLS, and Exploration Ground Systems, located at NASA Headquarters in Washington, Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Johnson Space Center in Houston, Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and Kennedy. Because the maiden mission of SLS and Orion is uncrewed, the program teams had the rare opportunity to conceive the mission identifier. Artemis II, which will fly with crew, will have an insignia designed by NASA’s Astronaut Office with the help of the crew that will fly aboard the most capable deep space system to take flight.
