NASA, along with leaders from global space agencies and government representatives around the world, was convened on Monday to further implement Artemis's agreements – practical principles intended to guide the responsible study of the moon, Mars and beyond.
The meeting took place during the 76th International Astronautical Congress (MAC), taking place in Sydney. In the initial comments, the acting administrator NASA Sean Duffy emphasized the five -year anniversary of Artemis's agreements next month.
“When President Trump launched Artemis Agreements in his first term, he made sure that American values have been led to the path – combining the coalition of nations to establish the rules of the road in space and ensure a peaceful study. Five years later, the coalition is stronger than when. This is critical when we strive to defeat China to the moon, and not just to leave the infantrymen, but the time to stay, ”Duffy said.
The United States, headed by NASA and the US State Department, signed the agreements on October 13, 2020 with seven founders. Agreements were created in response to a growing global interest in lunar activities by governments and private companies. Currently, they make up 56 country signers – almost 30% of the countries of the world.
The event was represented by NASA, the Australian Space Agency and the OAE space agency. Dozens of countries were represented, creating the basis for the future study of space for the golden age of research and innovation.
“Australia is a proud founder of artemidic agreements and focused on supporting new signers in the Indo-Pacific region,” said Enrico Palermo, head of the Australian Space Agency. “The purpose of the agreements is also important – if no more important is how it was when it was first established. This annual meeting of directors in IAC 2025 is a key opportunity to confirm our collective commitment to the study of the moon, Mars and beyond in a peaceful, safe and stable method. ”
During the meeting, the leaders discussed recommendations for non -interference in each other's space events, including transparency on the expected launch dates, the general nature of the activity and location of the landing. They also discussed orbital garbage mitigation and disposal management, system compatibility for safer and more effective operations, as well as the release of scientific data.
In May 2025, the United Arab Emirates took place Artemis Accords Workshop It is focused on topics, such as non -interference and space registration and reporting outside the Earth orbit.
“Thanks to our active participation in the agreements on Artemis and, having organized specialized seminars, we strive to strengthen the principles of transparency, stability and innovation in space events. We strive to strengthen international partnerships and contribute to the exchange of experience, thereby contributing to the development of reliable global framework for sports and responsible places, while new fronts for scientific research. ” Ahmad Belhol al Falassi. “This reflects the unshakable commitment of the UAE to improve international cooperation in the study of space and the promotion of the peaceful use of space.”
