Illustration of an astronaut flying an untethered Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) near the proposed Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway, a manned moon-orbiting space station. Visible space station components include, from top to bottom: the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, and a solar voltaic panel (attached to the ion propulsion module). The Earth is in the background. The plans for this space station are being led by NASA, co-ordinating between multiple space agencies.
