All 23 member states of the European Space Agency are Artemis Accords signatories after Ireland joined on 4 May.

Conida director Major General Roberto Melgar Sheen presented a Peruvian government proposal for a decentralized system to exchange space mission data.

The Peruvian proposal seeks to standardize international databases on lunar missions and provide open and transparent access to critical information for future exploration.

China and Russia have not signed the Artemis Accords.

India signed the Artemis Accords on 21 June 2023 and became the 27th signatory.

The International Lunar Research Station alliance aims to establish a crewed base at the lunar south pole by around 2035.

The number of Artemis Accords signatories rose to 67 after the six new accessions before the Lima workshop.

More than a dozen lunar landing missions are planned over the next 18 months by Artemis Accords signatories.
