CLEVELAND, Ohio – NASA is looking to explore the moon and Mars in the next few decades, and advanced technologies under development at the NASA Glenn Research Center will help make that possible.

NASA’s push to the moon, called Artemis, includes building a moon outpost as a base for exploration and to teach scientists how to live and work on another world, NASA said.

The Artemis lunar plan includes the creation of Gateway, a spaceship in lunar orbit that will support long-term missions on and around the Moon, NASA said. Another goal for Artemis to prepare for human missions to Mars.

NASA Glenn is helping Artemis with several research projects.

The agency is spearheading a project to build a nuclear power plant on the moon by 2030.
