The Artemis Accords aim to guide how countries cooperate in civilian exploration of the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies.

NASA is moving into a new phase of space exploration, with major progress across human spaceflight, science missions, and advanced technology. In just one year, the agency has launched multiple crewed and science missions,

NASA will launch two crewed missions in early February, sending astronauts to the ISS to prepare for Mars missions and another crew to orbit the moon.

NASA's Space Shuttle Program, which ran from 1981 to 2011, was a complex and ambitious project that pushed the boundaries of space exploration, but was marred by two tragic accidents during the shuttle era.

The ESSCA II contract will deliver engineering and science services for NASA centers, including Marshall Space Flight Center.
