The Artemis Accords have arrived. As a further indication of the U.S. commitment to furthering the exploration and development of the Moon and its resources with international partners, NASA has invited other like-minded nations to sign on to the document, with Australia, Canada, Italy, Luxembourg, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom signing a revised version. Bolstering the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, the accords strive to assure the peaceful exploration of space, transparency in space activities, international standards for interoperability of space systems, an assurance of mutual aid in case of a space emergency, the registration of objects placed in space, a full release of scientific data, the protection of space heritage sites, clear rules on the extraction of space resources, and increased monitoring of (and commitment to reducing) orbital debris. Neither Russia nor China have yet signed on, but it is hoped that these guidelines will eventually appeal to all spacefaring nations.
