"Sweden and Switzerland Join NASA's Artemis Accords for Moon Exploration"

Sweden becomes the 38th country to sign NASA's Artemis Accords for peaceful and responsible moon exploration, strengthening its strategic space partnership with the U.S. and joining a global coalition committed to exploring space openly, transparently, responsibly, and in peace. The Accords, established in 2020, mirror principles set out in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and will guide NASA's Artemis program, which aims to send astronauts back to the moon for the first time since 1972. NASA plans to return to the moon with its Artemis 2 mission in 2025 and aims to put a crew of four on the lunar surface with Artemis 3 in 2026.
