Unlike the ISS, which is placed in low Earth orbit, the new space station will be placed in lunar orbit and will be solar-powered. It is aimed at providing "extensive capabilities to support NASA’s Artemis campaign", according to NASA. Artemis’ mission is to place astronauts on the lunar surface again. The Gateway will have docking ports for all visiting spacecraft, and space for the crew to live and work.
