Beyond The Fist Bump, Progress On Artemis Accords For Space Exploration
When President Joe Biden visited Saudi Arabia last week, media attention naturally turned to the high cost of gasoline and the meaning of a fist-bump greeting. Lost in the shuffle was a significant new development regarding the Artemis Accords, which is the NASA-lead project aimed at establishing a gateway to space exploration on the Moon.
. Rooted in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, the Artemis Accords aims at safety, transparency, interoperability, and deconfliction. The Accords were signed on behalf of Saudi Arabia by Mohammed Saud al-Tamimi, CEO of the Saudi Space Commission. The ceremony was witnessed by a host of dignitaries representing Saudi Arabia and the US, along with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, who participated remotely.
“Today Saudi Arabia adds its voice to a diverse and growing set of nations. Together we can ensure that, toward the Moon and destinations beyond, will be done peaceably, safely, and in full accordance with international law,” explained NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
