This @JAXA_en collaboration continues a decades-long relationship with @NASA . Together we’ve realized incredible crewed science and tech on @Space_Station and will soon do the same in lunar orbit and on the Moon’s surface. More on the Pressurized Rover:

When great nations work together, we extend our reach into the stars. Today, @POTUS and @kishida230 announced the next chapter in the U.S.-Japan lunar partnership. Together, our astronauts will cover ground we’ve never covered before.

Today, we discussed the review's success criteria and our exploration strategy. Our architecture is driven by @NASA 's Moon to Mars objectives, with an emphasis to conduct science at the Moon and test the systems and technologies needed to send humans to Mars.
