## What the grant funds

White House Space Policy Directive-1 (SPD-1), signed by the President in December 2017, directs NASA to lead an innovative and sustainable program of exploration with commercial and international partners to enable human expansion across the solar system, and to bring new knowledge and opportunities back to Earth. The National Space Exploration Campaign calls for human and robotic exploration missions to expand our presence and understanding of the Earth, other worlds, and the cosmos. In response to this call and consistent with the NASA Transition Authorization Act of 2017, NASA submitted to Congress a plan to revitalize and add direction to the Agency’s enduring purpose through the Artemis Program. Artemis is NASA’s lunar exploration program, which includes sending the first woman and the first person of color to the Moon by 2025. Through the Artemis Program, NASA will use new technology to study the Moon in new and better ways and to prepare for human missions to Mars. In support of NASA’s Artemis Program, the MUREP Space Technology Artemis Research (MSTAR) activity is established to strengthen and develop the research capacity and infrastructure of U.S. MSIs in areas of strategic importance and value to NASA’s mission and national priorities.
