U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)'s video: Will Artemis Be Ready on Launch Day

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to build a sustained human lunar presence and ultimately travel to Mars through a series of missions known as Artemis. For Artemis IV, the agency is developing the Gateway—the first space station planned to orbit the moon. NASA tracks the Gateway program’s progress via cost and schedule commitments. GAO analyzed NASA documentation and interviewed officials on the Gateway program’s cost, schedule, risks, and role in the Artemis architecture.
