The U.S. Government's Strategic Vision for Cislunar Science & Technology

About this Document

This document provides a first interagency strategy to guide the actions of the U.S. government in advancing scientific, exploration, and economic development activities in Cislunar space. This Cislunar Science & Technology Strategy directly supports the United States Space Priorities Framework, which states that the United States will “advance a robust Cislunar ecosystem.” Further, this strategy is consistent with interagency and international efforts including the Artemis Accords, the U.S. government’s Interagency Roadmap to Support Space Related STEM-Education and Workforce, work of the United Nations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), the ITU Radio Regulations, and other ongoing multilateral discussions, and supports the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, the Rescue Agreement, and other international treaties. This strategy also complements the 2022 National Strategy on In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM), which advances capabilities and technologies for U.S. civil and private sector applications in space.
