    About this moment

    Falcon Heavy: Gateway PPE & HALO is expected 2027. The exact day has not been announced yet.

    SpaceX is preparing to launch Gateway PPE & HALO on a Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA. The Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) are the foundational elements of NASA's lunar-orbiting space station "Gateway". The PPE is a 60-kilowatt class solar electric propulsion spacecraft that also will provide power, high-speed communications, attitude control and the capability to move the Gateway to different lunar orbits. The HALO is the pressurized living quarters where astronauts who visit the Gateway, often on their way to the Moon, will work. It will provide command and control and serve as the docking hub for the outpost. HALO will support science investigations, distribute power, provide communications for visiting vehicles and lunar surface expeditions, and supplement the life support systems aboard Orion, NASA’s spacecraft that will deliver Artemis astronauts to the Gateway. Launch is expected in 2027 and no firm date has been announced yet.
