WASHINGTON, The US welcomes Japan’s intention to extend its support of International Space Station (ISS) operations through 2030, US Vice President Kamala Harris said.<\/p>\n
“In addition, our two countries are taking a step forward by reaching an agreement on collaboration on the Lunar Gateway orbiting platform, which will pave the way for the return of humanity to the Moon,” Harris said in a statement Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
She added that Japan’s contributions will “advance scientific knowledge and protect our brave astronauts exploring the depths of outer space.<\/p>\n
And this brings us one step closer to one day having a Japanese astronaut walk on the moon.” She affirmed that the alliance between the two countries is a “cornerstone of peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region and around the globe.” “Space cooperation is a critical component of our alliance,” she remarked.<\/p>\n
“Today we celebrate US-Japan cooperation in space, which has never been stronger.” Last year, the US agreed to extend operations of the ISS through 2030.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
