In 2020, under the first Trump administration, the United States, led by NASA and the State Department, joined seven other founding countries to conclude the Artemis Accords, responding to growing interest in lunar activities from governments and private companies.
The agreements introduced the first set of practical principles aimed at strengthening the security, transparency and coordination of civilian space exploration on the Moon, Mars and beyond.
