NASA's New Space Station

The International Space Station will have served the world for over twenty years when it is retired in the mid-2020s. But what’s next? In case you’re not up on the plan, it is nothing short of incredible. This video is a great review of the Gateway Space Station planned for orbit around the moon and the many kinds of missions it will support. Watch and dream!

Now just referred to as 'The Gateway', the spacecraft formerly known as the 'Deep Space Gateway' and referred to in this year's budget request as the 'Lunar Orbital Platform - Gateway' (LOP-G) is planned to orbit high above the poles of the Moon in support of crew visits and science experiments.
