Find out what the Artemis Accords are and how India plans to participate in them.
The Artemis Accords are a set of principles governing safe and sustainable space exploration and commercial activities on the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies. These accords were established by the United States in 2020 and specifically aim to promote transparency, cooperation, and peaceful exploration in space. India has shown interest in participating in the Artemis Accords and has been actively engaged in discussions about the principles and objectives of the accords. India's involvement would mainly focus on scientific and technological cooperation, collecting and sharing data, and promoting sustainable space exploration. Here are a few ways India plans to participate in the Artemis Accords:
  • Establishing partnerships with other space agencies that have joined the accords
  • Recognizing the principles of the accords and aligning its space exploration activities with the accords' goals
  • Contributing to the Artemis program which aims to land humans on the Moon by 2024
  • Engaging in research and development of space technology that supports sustainable exploration and commercial activities
  • Promoting international cooperation and partnerships in scientific research and space exploration
India's participation in the Artemis Accords would enable it to collaborate with other space-faring nations and contribute towards establishing sustainable and ethical practices in space exploration.
