NASA’s Gateway project takes a major leap as the HALO module, a future home for Artemis astronauts, arrives in Arizona for final outfitting.
With life support, command systems, and thermal controls being installed, HALO is preparing to serve as a critical link for lunar exploration. Excitement marked its arrival, celebrated with VR tours and NASA leaders’ speeches.
NASA is making steady progress on its plans to collaborate with commercial and international partners through the Gateway program. A key milestone was reached when the primary structure of HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) arrived at Northrop Grumman’s facility in Gilbert, Arizona. There, the module will undergo its final outfitting and extensive verification testing.
HALO will serve as a living and working space for Artemis astronauts, supporting scientific research in lunar orbit. It will be outfitted with critical systems, including command and control, data handling, energy storage, power distribution, and thermal regulation.
