But in parallel ESA is already looking beyond ISS and setting the foundations to play a major role as NASA's main partner in their new crewed space exploration programme. The destination is no longer Low Earth Orbit, but deep space. First stop is the Moon programme, Artemis, with vehicles like the Orion crewed spacecraft and large facilities such as the Lunar Orbital Platform Gateway ( LOPG ). These will provide repeated access to the surface of the moon, both for astronauts and rovers. Initial goal is to re-take lunar scientific exploration with much newer means and instrumentation, as well as to prototype ISRU ( In Situ Resource Utilisation ) technologies.
