Two Japanese astronauts will walk on the moon on future Artemis missions under a new agreement with NASA. NASA and the Japanese government announced Wednesday that Japan will provide a pressurized lunar rover to be delivered by NASA to the lunar surface ahead of the Artemis 7 mission in the early 2030s. NASA, in exchange, will provide seats for Japanese astronauts on two landing missions, making Japan the first nation after the U.S. to land its astronauts on the moon under Artemis. The announcement did not disclose what missions the Japanese astronauts will get to fly on.
