US Embassy in Russia: Biden is committed to NASA’s Artemis program for the moon and beyond!

>NASA announced a team of 18 astronauts for future Artemis missions. The team reflects the diversity and range of opportunity within the United States, with women and people of color making up half of the team.

The Artemis program is also bolstering international partnerships. The United States and seven other nations signed the Artemis Accords on October 13, 2020. The Artemis Accords are a series of guiding principles to ensure future space exploration is peaceful, sustainable and beneficial to all.

>The Artemis Accords follow the principles of the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which prevent nations from claiming sovereignty over outer space, and seek to facilitate exploration, science and commercial activities for all humanity to enjoy. More than 20 countries have already signed the agreement, which includes Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States.
