Ecuador Joins Artemis Accords.

Ecuador has become the 26th country and the fourth in Latin America to sign the Artemis Accords for safe and sustainable space exploration. Although Ecuador does not have a major presence in space, it has a space agency established in 2007 and one company, Leviathan Space Industries, working to establish a spaceport in the country. The Artemis Accords outline principles and best practices based on the Outer Space Treaty, and advocates argue that they reflect the values that the United States wants to see develop on the moon and throughout outer space.
