SUMMARY

The Deep Space Gateway (DSG) is proposed as a lunar orbital platform to facilitate Moon landings and further exploration. According to the details provided in the discussion and the linked Wikipedia article, the DSG is designed to operate in a near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) around the Moon. This orbit allows for continuous communication with Earth and provides a stable platform for various lunar missions. The DSG will serve as a critical infrastructure for future lunar exploration initiatives.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of lunar orbital mechanics
  • Familiarity with the concept of near-rectilinear halo orbits
  • Knowledge of the Deep Space Gateway's mission objectives
  • Basic awareness of lunar exploration technologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifics of near-rectilinear halo orbits and their advantages for lunar missions
  • Explore the mission objectives and design of the Deep Space Gateway
  • Investigate the technologies involved in lunar exploration and habitation
  • Learn about the implications of DSG for future Mars missions
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, space mission planners, researchers in lunar exploration, and anyone interested in the future of human presence on the Moon.

Assuming it happens and that the Deep Space Gateway happens as a base for Moon landing and further exploration. What sort of orbit would it have in relation to this use? I have I-searched but not found any detail. Thanks.
