@dw.science: Moon Station, Moon space station The Lunar Gateway is a future space station that is supposed to orbit the Moon. From the late 2020s, it is planned as a stopover for astronauts heading to the Moon. And to train those astronauts, ESA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have basically built a fake moon – or at least its surface. The mock-up is called LUNA. And it won't be the only moon-like facility available for astronauts and scientists to use. Under construction next door is the Future Lunar Exploration Habitat (FLEXHab), which simulates a potential moon habitation module.
