UAE begins work on airlock for historic Gateway Lunar Space Station

The UAE has officially started work on the historic Gateway Lunar Space Station project, which will be humanity’s first space station that will orbit the Moon.

The project, in collaboration with the US-based National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will see the UAE’s Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) construct the Gateway’s Crew and Science Airlock module or the ‘Emirates Airlock’, as well as provide engineering support for life on the lunar space station.
