A new NASA space station will orbit the Moon. NASA wants to launch Lunar Gateway in 2024, as a part of Artemis program.

This is the objective, but it doesn't have an exact launching date. Artemis will put people on the surface of the Moon for the first time since 1972. Gateway will be used to explore the Moon long term.

NASA wants to also put the first woman on the Moon with the Artemis program, and also wants the program to act as a testing ground for the technology which will be used to travel and live on Mars.

Last year, NASA announced plans for a Moon base, named "Artemis Base Camp", that would be a home for astronauts on the surface of the Moon.

SpaceX will help NASA in a part of the program, they will be transporting fundamental parts of the Gateway onto the Moon's orbit. Recently, SpaceX won a contract of 2,9 billions dollars for a landing system.
