Prior collaboration between nations spawned the international space station, but the scale of the Artemis project is unprecedented.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThis is the US facilitating a global effort to ensure that, with Artemis, we\u2019re not just building better technology, but building a better future,\u201d said Michael Gold, a former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/nasa\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Nasa<\/a> associate administrator for space policy and partnerships and who led its office of international and interagency relations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cAt their core, the Artemis Accords are a preemptive strike against conflict and to ensure we have a peaceful future. As we crafted them, we wanted to ensure they were as inclusive as possible, that any nation which wanted to support responsible, safe and sustainable exploration could do so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cIt\u2019s important that we not only take our astronauts to space, but we launch our values of peace, respect for the rule of law, of open science, of sustainable activities.

Nelson has warned China is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2024\/apr\/18\/nasa-warns-china-military-presence-in-space\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">masking its military ambitions<\/a> in space through a civilian program, and many observers see the country\u2019s call for 50 countries, <a href=\"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/china-wants-50-countries-involved-in-its-ilrs-moon-base\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">including western nations<\/a>, to join the ILRS project, as a direct challenge to the Artemis Accords.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Gold, now chief growth officer at Redwire, a Florida-based leading supplier of infrastructure for the commercial space industry, sees more subtle messaging in the Nasa approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cSpace is inherently global. There is more that unites us than separates us, for signatories and non-signatories of the accords alike,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cRemember the accords were designed to be a beginning of a discussion, not an ending. They have been tremendously effective in creating momentum for the dialog and norms of behavior in venues like the United Nations involving China and Russia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cAnd because the accords have been signed by 45 nations, if any nation acts in a fashion that is counter to their values, you\u2019ve at least created a context where those kinds of activities would be condemned and viewed as breaking what is quickly becoming traditional international law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cSo even for nations that haven\u2019t signed, the accords are having a substantive and real effect. You can\u2019t force any country to sign, but what we can do is lead by example, show what good looks like, and I believe that has a non-trivial impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Giovanni Zanalda, director of Duke University\u2019s Rethinking Diplomacy Program and co-founder of its Space Diplomacy Lab, said Nasa has been particularly successful in attracting smaller countries with no previously apparent interest in space.<\/p>\n<aside data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-nyoej5\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 14\" style=\"fill:var(--pullquote-icon);\" class=\"dcr-scql1j\"><path d=\"M5.255 0h4.75c-.572 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941H0C.792 9.104 2.44 4.53 5.255 0Zm11.061 0H21c-.506 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941h-8.686c.902-4.837 2.485-9.411 5.3-13.941Z\"\/><\/svg><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"dcr-zzndwp\"><p> I see the accords, as well as other diplomatic initiatives, as a practical approach to tackle present and future global challenges <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<footer><cite>Giovanni Zanalda<\/cite><\/footer>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cSome don\u2019t have space capabilities yet but are interested and excited about joining, to be part of a dialog,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cEven small countries realize they depend on assets in space, satellite data and images for different reasons, agriculture, weather related issues, checking on deforestation trends. So even countries you would not have thought two years ago were so interested in space and the moon, it\u2019s a different situation, it\u2019s a very different world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Zanalda said the growth of the private space industry, from large players such as SpaceX to smaller start-ups vying for a share, has made the market more global, which, he believes, has fueled the urgency for internationally accepted principles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cCertain governments are investing more and more in these activities, which makes sense because so much of our daily lives, whether we\u2019re in the US, Italy, Rwanda or the Philippines, depends on assets in space. That\u2019s why some of the discussions now are about future rules and regulations for certain activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe goal of getting back to the moon is close, and the technology, the scientific knowledge, the training, is there, in terms of both astronauts and in terms of private companies that are able to deliver whatever they need to deliver on the moon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cSo the urgency is there. The rapid increase in the number of countries joining the accords, as well as the geographical spread, are the result of the steady diplomatic leg work done by Nasa, the state department and other US government agencies over the last couple of years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cPersonally, I see the accords, as well as other diplomatic initiatives, as a practical approach to tackle present and future global challenges.
