US and Russia will work together in the construction of a new spaceport that will be stationed in the Moon’s orbit





Erstwhile enemies and somewhat uneasy allies, the US and Russia will put their differences aside in this new space endeavor, as both countries plan to work together to develop a brand new spaceport to be launched into the Moon’s orbit.

The facility, called Deep Space Gateway, is intended to be a ‘stop over’ for deep-space faring spacecraft heading to Mars and beyond.

The first modules of the manned space station will likely be ready for launch at some point between the years 2024 and 2026.

Once fully deployed, the facility will act as a springboard for Moon-bound missions and also deep-space exploration.
