International Lunar Research Station
Technological achievement
Mar. 26 2005 - Feb. 1 2064
Initial construction completed Sept. 25 2008 CE
In 2005 CE, the core module of the International Lunar Research Station was delivered in Lunar orbit by the Artemis III mission as part of the Artemis-ILE program. Built cooperatively by NASA, ROSCOSMOS, ESA, CSA, ISRO, JAXA, and AECS, the ILRS was completed in 2008 CE and served as the base structure for the Deep Space Gateway. After nearly sixty years of service, the ILRS was decommissioned in February of 2064, having been succeeded by Lunaport as the primary lunar orbital station a few decades earlier. ILRS was gently retired to Earth-Moon L4, where it remains as a historical monument much like the ISS.
