Gateway Lunar Space Station Flyby

NASA and its international partners will explore the scientific mysteries of deep space with Gateway, humanity’s first space station to orbit the Moon. Witness Gateway in stunning detail with this video that brings the future of lunar exploration to life.

A thrill, function combined with beauty, a work of art.

[@clippedwings225]

I am so excited that I'm gonna get to see a lunar space station in my lifetime. That feels straight out of a sci fi novel!

[@oberonpanopticon]

A shame the only thing it’s better at than the ISS is irradiating people

[@bassangler73]

I hope I live to see it in service!!!

[@jubjub64]

Excellent work gentlemen.

[@ashishyerra4446]

Go Nasa,Go Space x

[@TheSpaceflightGuy]

Awesome visual!

[@ivicaloncar2147]

Futuristic...for now!

I think it should show the Starship HLS vehicle instead of the old placeholder one. Apart from that, animation is very great, really hope the Gateway project starts in-space construction and operations soon!

[@omidpakbin]

Are the 3D models for Artemis space crafts open source and downloadable for everyone to make this kind of animations?

[@jubjub64]

I've checked and I don't believe these models are openly available on NASA's website. I can guess that one big reason for this is that these modules and components are probably still being finalized. Also, these components are being designed and manufactured by different companies and each company would want their finalized design represented in some publicly available 3D model. What I'm trying to say is, we might not see a public 3D model until these modules are in production or are already out in space. If you look at most of the available models on NASA's website, they are models of things that already exist and are in use (with a few exceptions).

[@jessicasimplicioreis3824]

Somebody watching??🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@polishkerbal6920]

Yo NASA, mind updating the station model?

[@marktwain5399]

Will work

[@Daimo83]

We had space stations in 1973 and 1998. Can we do something new?

[@brianazamora5522]

It's beautiful! 😍

[@Bielbo]

How long will it take to orbit the moon

[@Tinman_56]

It looks like Gateway is not going to be any different than ISS. I'd have expected no hatches between modules. Just connect the full diameter of the module. Better yet, make the modules square for better use of interior volume. Docking hatches are ok as they are but should be placed symmetrically on specific modules with 4 ports on a single docking module. Truss structure is limited to power distribution only. Radiators where required. Windows as desired. Canadarm3 can be on a rail as opposed to inchworm action down the length of Gateway. Square modules better suited for space pods (if ever developed) instead of EVA suits for exterior maintenance and experiments. imo🙂

[@nalusan]

as long as its not BOEING it might work?

[@Angelg229]

Oh

[@Corpsorz]

Flat earthers will say this is an animation

[@ashishyerra4446]

I love Artemis space program ❤❤❤

[@alangable9555]

Needs seriously more hand holds for spacewalks!!!

[@DavidBale-vn4op]

By the time it get done there will be cheap little red flags all over the place

[@wells5150]

Too much bureaucracy to let a good thing happen.

[@regolith1350]

Dear God, I hope this never gets built. We should be focusing on lunar SURFACE missions, lunar SURFACE habitats, lunar SURFACE infrastructure. There is absolutely NO POINT to having a lunar space station. And a lunar space station in NRHO is the worst of all possible worlds. NRHO is worse than useless, and the real reason NASA selected this crazy, elongated, high lunar orbit is because it was the only destination that the pathetically underpowered Orion spacecraft could actually REACH, and NOT because this orbit offered any actual advantages. Everything we hear in the media about why NRHO is so great is pure marketing BS gaslighting. Gateway in NRHO is the worst white elephant/albatross/dead end/money furnace anyone could have dreamed up. Let's go to the MOON, not AROUND the moon.

[@FACTCHECKEDbyGoogle]

I doubt it, seems fake.

[@danclemmensen4474]

Seriously misleading, because it is shown with an HLS that has not been current for at least 3 years (i.e., the old NASA reference design) and that is not funded and will never be built or flown. It should be shown either with no HLS (still misleading) or with Starship HLS (from Artemis III or Artemis IV) or even with Blue Origin's HLS (from Artemis V). Giventhe configuration shown, this is probably supposed to be Artemis VI or later, which should be either Starship HLS or Blue Origin's HLS. Both of these are already under development under NASA contracts.

[@MemeMan_MEMESQUAD]

Frankly the rest of Gateway should just be two Starships taped together lol, would be way quicker, cheaper, and bigger

[@danclemmensen4474]

@@MemeMan_MEMESQUAD Indeed. I'm convinced that we never see a render of Starship HLS docked to Gateway because it would show how tiny Gateway is. Total habitable volume of a single Starship HLS is many times larger than the total habitable volume of gateway even with all its modules plus Orion. To replace Gatway, you need a single slightly-modified Starship HLS (needs more docking ports).

[@MemeMan_MEMESQUAD]

@@danclemmensen4474 it'll be very funny to see where this goes. The juxtaposition will make it very real for people, I imagine

[@oberonpanopticon]

Aren’t they planning to use several designs of HLS to make all the companies happy? Or is it *that* old

[@MemeMan_MEMESQUAD]

@@oberonpanopticon yeah they were sued into accepting other designs but I suspect it will be worse than the current Dragon/Starliner situation

[@user-ut5iv7qt6u]

Keep Boeing out of this project.
