Nasa’s Artemis spacecraft has successfully arrived at the moon after finally blasting off from Earth last week. Artemis 1 is carrying the Orion lunar spacecraft - which is manned by three test dummies.
Mr Hu said the gateway would act as an orbiting platform and staging post for lunar missions, with astronauts taking ‘landers’ from the platform to and from the moon.
The 322-foot Space Launch System rocket that made up the Artemis 1 mission is the most powerful ever built by Nasa, with more thrust than either the space shuttle or the mighty Saturn V that carried men to the moon the first time.A series of hydrogen fuel leaks plagued the summertime launch attempts as well as countdown tests.
