tell information about moon the gateway to stars?
Answers
The new logo represents the Gateway's near rectilinear halo orbit above the grey horizon of the moon with a white arch similar in appearance to the iconic Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. From within the arch, a path extends out to a red orb.
"The red pathway inside the arch signifies Gateway's role in forging a path from the moon to Mars," described Cauligi, "with the moon as a testbed for Mars and providing an opportunity to demonstrate new technologies necessary for crewed Mars missions. The other end of the pathway shows Mars in red, remaining a horizon goal."

Six white stars dotting the logo's dark blue background symbolize the six Apollo missions that were the first to land humans on the moon between July 1969 and December 1972.
The oval-shaped emblem is completed with the word "Gateway" stylized in white, except for the first "A," which is highlighted in red, signifying the Gateway's role in the Artemis program.
"Through the Artemis program, a new class of American moonwalkers will inspire people all over the world," Cauligi wrote.
The Gateway logo was revealed in conjunction with a new internal website, which will house all information related to Gateway and Gateway components for NASA employees.
NASA previously solicited for a graphic to represent its Gateway program to "be used in multiple ways internally at NASA, but will have the limited external/public use, if any." The contest, run on the Freelancer website from Nov. 26 to Dec. 10, 2018, received more than 500 entries. A winning design was chosen, but it did not resemble the logo now in use.
