Australia will join the US on the mission to return to the lunar surface and then fly to Mars.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced his government will join the Moon-to-Mars project, including the NASA Artemis lunar program. Morrison pledged to more than triple the Australian Space Agency’s budget, according to a statement from NASA during Morrison’s US visit.
The potential Australian contributions will include robotics, automation and remote asset management.
Australia, which formed a space agency a year ago, provided land-based communication links to orbiting manned flights for NASA.
