According to a White House announcement, US President Donald Trump issued the *Declaration of Space Freedom*, reaffirming that the solar system and the entire outer space beyond Earth are the common heritage of all mankind. The United States will lead the exploration, development, utilization, and settlement of these new frontiers, with the goals of returning to the Moon by 2028, establishing a permanent lunar presence, and ultimately landing on Mars. The announcement noted that the Artemis II mission successfully completed its lunar flyby this April, and the Artemis III mission is scheduled for a test flight next summer.
