Japans success in landing on the Moon– even with solar panel problems reducing the timeline for the mission– shows that JAXA is a major gamer in this worldwide endeavor.Despite current setbacks, such as NASA announcing delays to its next Artemis mission, the U.S. is still a clear leader in area and lunar expedition. NASA has numerous spacecraft orbiting the Moon right now, and its already effectively introduced the SLS rocket, which is capable of taking people back to the Moon.NASA is developing complex and very large systems internally– like the Gateway space station, planned to orbit near the Moon, and the facilities for the Artemis human Moon missions.
