Gateway Lunar Space Station (artistic depiction): Impression of the Gateway Lunar Space Station. The space station in lunar orbit is intended to serve as a habitat, fuel, and research center for astronauts exploring our Moon as part of the Artemis program. The Human Exploration Control Center (HECC) will be responsible for operating three modules of the Gateway: the communication system to the lunar surface HLCS, the living and working module I-HAB, and the propulsion module ESPRIT.

A central part of the Orion spacecraft is the European Service Module (ESM), which is built in Germany by the European Space Agency (ESA) on behalf of NASA. It includes the propulsion system for Orion and supplies power through four solar generators. Additionally, it regulates the climate and temperature inside the spacecraft and stores fuel, oxygen, and water supplies for the crew.
