ESA has announced its participation in the upcoming Artemis II mission, confirming that the agency is preparing to travel to the Moon as part of the crewed flight. The effort is presented under the joint branding “ESA x ASH,” indicating a formal partnership between the European Space Agency and the ASH organization for lunar operations. Artemis II, the second flight in NASA’s Artemis series, will carry astronauts on a trajectory around the Moon, testing systems for a future landing. The ESA‑ASH collaboration is expected to contribute European expertise and hardware to the mission, reinforcing the multinational framework that underpins the Artemis program’s goal of sustainable lunar exploration.
