Gateway's HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) module is one of four of Gateway's pressurized modules where international teams of astronauts will live, conduct science, and prepare for missions to the lunar South Pole region from Gateway. HALO is provided by Northrop Grumman.

The Lunar Gateway Launch, mapped. Gateway's first elements, the Power and Propulsion Element and HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost), will launch together to lunar orbit, where they’ll set the stage for Artemis IV: the first Gateway assembly mission. During this milestone mission, the Artemis IV crew will deliver the European Space Agency's Lunar I-Hab, dock it to HALO, and enter the space station for the very first time. NASA is currently targeting a 2027 launch for HALO and the Power and Propulsion Element. This timeline allows for the roughly year-long journey to lunar orbit and ensures everything is in place ahead of Artemis IV.

The primary structure of the Gateway space station's HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) module is one step closer to launch following welding completion in Turin, Italy. HALO is one of four Gateway modules where astronauts will live, conduct science, and prepare for lunar surface missions. NASA is partnering with Northrop Grumman and their subcontractor Thales Alenia Space to develop HALO.

The Heliophysics Environmental and Radiation Measurement Experiment Suite (HERMES) is one of the first three science payloads selected to fly on Gateway. HERMES will study solar and cosmic radiation to help the scientific community better understand how to keep people and hardware safe during deep space travels.
