US Space Agency Celebrates Five Years of Artemis Accords, Welcomes Three New Nations

In a significant milestone, NASA marked the fifth anniversary of its founding signatories signing the Artemis Accords. This move has been bolstered by the addition of Hungary, Malaysia, and the Philippines to the coalition dedicated to peaceful space exploration.

Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy welcomed the newest members, stating that their participation strengthens the global commitment to responsible exploration. "Their decision to sign the Artemis Accords affirms a shared commitment to safe, transparent, and peaceful exploration — at a time when others seek to weaponize the final frontier," he added. By joining forces, nations are building the foundation for what Duffy termed the 'Golden Age of space exploration'.

Malaysia and the Philippines signed the accords as part of President Trump's visit to Kuala Lumpur during the annual Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit. Hungary's signing occurred earlier in October while Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó was in Washington, prior to a meeting with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

This development comes three months after Hungarian astronaut Tibor Kapu launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of the Axiom Mission 4 crew. During his mission, Kapu conducted science outreach and commercial activities alongside NASA astronauts.

The Artemis Accords have grown from its initial establishment with seven founding nations in October 2020. Since then, the coalition has welcomed numerous countries signing in 2025 alone, indicating a strengthened global commitment to shaping a safe and prosperous future in space. This surge in participation highlights an increased commitment to responsible exploration.

In September, NASA co-chaired the Artemis Accords Principals' Meeting in Sydney alongside the Australian and UAE space agencies. The meeting brought together dozens of signatory nations to deepen dialogue and strengthen shared commitments on key topics such as non-interference, orbital debris mitigation, interoperability, and data release. NASA has taken steps to increase transparency by hosting an upcoming workshop for signatories focused on data sharing.

The continued commitment of signatories is crucial to advancing sustainable exploration beyond Earth's orbit. The agency plans to host additional workshops in the coming years, with four CubeSats from South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and Germany set to fly on Artemis II missions.

With more nations expected to join the accords in the months ahead, NASA and its partners are poised to advance the principles of responsible space exploration.
 
🚀👍 So cool that Hungary, Malaysia, and the Philippines just signed up for the Artemis Accords! It's awesome to see more countries coming together to explore space peacefully 😊. I think it's great that NASA is hosting workshops to increase transparency about data sharing - we should be all about collaboration and mutual understanding in space exploration 🤝. The "Golden Age of space exploration" sounds like an amazing goal to work towards, let's keep pushing for a brighter future in space! 💫
 
I'm not convinced about this "Golden Age of Space Exploration" hype... 🤔
It's cool that more countries are signing up, but let's be real, what's the actual plan for all these new members? Are they just gonna pay lip service or actually contribute to something meaningful?

And I don't know about me being excited about non-interference agreements and orbital debris mitigation, it sounds like a lot of bureaucratic red tape... 🚫
Don't get me wrong, sustainable exploration is great, but where's the innovation here? Are we just gonna follow the same tired paths or push the boundaries?

I'm all for transparency, but hosting workshops on data sharing doesn't seem to be the most groundbreaking thing NASA could be doing... 💡
 
the US is getting all serious about space 🚀👽 - first china was like "hey we're over here" now it's nasa and other countries trying to keep up... but i think this is kinda cool, more people exploring and learning together 💡 might just change the game for us
 
The fact that 3 new countries Hungary, Malaysia & Philippines signed the Artemis Accords is a big deal 🚀. It shows how serious they are about exploring space peacefully & sharing data with each other 🤝. If more countries join in, it could lead to some amazing discoveries & collaborations in the space industry 💡. NASA's commitment to transparency by hosting workshops on data sharing is also a great move 📊. We might see some awesome CubeSats flying around soon too! 🚀
 
🚀 It's about time we talk about who gets to control the final frontier! 🤔 The addition of Hungary, Malaysia, and the Philippines to the Artemis Accords is a big deal, but let's be real, it's still a small club compared to the rest of the world. I mean, when are China and India gonna join? And what about Africa and Latin America? It feels like NASA is playing catch-up with its global outreach efforts 🚫.

And don't even get me started on the politics behind this whole thing. The fact that Malaysia and the Philippines signed up during Trump's visit to Kuala Lumpur? Talk about a PR stunt! 😏 What really matters is how these nations will balance their interests with NASA's goals, and whether they'll be able to put aside their own agendas for the sake of space exploration.

The question on everyone's mind: what does this mean for the future of space exploration? Will it lead to a new era of cooperation or just more tensions between nations? Only time (and transparency) will tell 🕰️.
 
I'm low-key hyped about these new additions 🚀! I mean, it's not just about the US anymore, it's a global effort 🌎. We need more countries working together on this, not against each other. Hungary, Malaysia, and the Philippines are all making great strides 🤝. It's gonna be wild to see what these new signatories bring to the table 🚀. NASA is doing some amazing stuff with those CubeSats 🛰️... the future of space exploration is looking bright ⭐️!
 
ugh man five years of artemis accords and still no real progress 🚀🤦‍♂️ it's just a bunch of countries saying they want to be peaceful and cooperate in space but what about the actual work being done? 🤑 like where are these cube sats and missions taking us? 📍 to more pollution and over-reliance on tech? 🌎 we're already seeing the effects of climate change on our oceans and polar ice caps, do we really need more space exploration when we can't even take care of ourselves here on earth? 🤔

I FEEL LIKE THE ARTEMIS ACCORDS ARE A GREAT STEP TOWARDS SPACE EXPLORATION!!! 🚀 IT'S AMAZING TO SEE MORE NATIONS COMING ON BOARD AND WORKING TOGETHER FOR PEACEFUL EXPLORATION. I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE IS COLLABORATING ON SPACE PROJECTS RATHER THAN COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER? IT'S A VERY BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF US!!!

I ALSO THINK IT'S COOL THAT MALAYSIA AND THE PHILIPPINES WERE INVITED TO JOIN AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP VISITED KUALALUMPUR. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW IMPORTANT DIPLOMACY IS IN GETTING OTHER NATIONS ON BOARD WITH YOUR IDEAS. AND I LOVE THAT HUNGARY IS NOW PART OF THE GROUP - IT'S SUCH A SMALL BUT MIGHTY PLAYER IN THIS SPACE RACE!

I GUESS WHAT REALLY GETS ME IS HOW MUCH PROGRESS WE'VE MADE SINCE 2020 WHEN ONLY SEVEN NATIONS WERE INVOLVED. TO SEE IT GROW INTO THIS MASSIVE GLOBAL MOVEMENT WITH OVER 20 NATIONS NOW IS TRULY INSPIRING. AND I KNOW THAT WITH MORE COUNTRIES JOINING, WE'LL BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO MAKING SPACE EXPLORATION A REALITY FOR EVERYONE.
 
🚀 I'm so stoked to see Hungary, Malaysia, and the Philippines joining the Artemis Accords crew! It's like, we're finally getting some international cooperation on space exploration and it's gonna be 🤩 amazing! The fact that these countries are already working together with NASA and other nations is a huge step towards making space travel more accessible and safe. I mean, think about it - the 'Golden Age of space exploration' is coming! 🌟 With more nations signing up, we're basically building a global space community that's all about collaboration, transparency, and responsible innovation. It's a bright future ahead for space travel, and I'm honored to be living in these exciting times! 💫
 
can we talk about the implications of this for actual moon bases? i mean like if there's a chance of multiple countries having a presence up there... 🚀 it raises all sorts of questions about governance & regulation. also, with more people signing on to these accords, do you think we'll see a shift towards more commercial spaceflight? 🤑
 
Yaaas, it's dope to see more countries gettin' on board with the Artemis Accords 🚀👏! I mean, five years ago, there were only seven founding nations, but now we're up to like 20+ signatories 🤯! It's a huge deal for space exploration and making sure everyone plays by the rules.

Malaysia and the Philippines just joined in, and Hungary too 🇭🇺🇲🇵🇭. I'm hyped that they're commiting to safe, transparent, and peaceful exploration - it's time we focus on progressin' humanity together 🚀💫.

NASA is doin' a great job hostin' these workshops and makin' sure everyone has access to the same info 💻. It's all about buildin' that foundation for the 'Golden Age of space exploration', Sean Duffy said, and I'm all about it 🔥!
 
🚀 I'm glad to see more countries getting on board with this whole Artemis Accords thing... it's about time we got some international cooperation going on in space exploration 🙌. Five years in and it's already got a pretty solid track record, but I'm not gonna lie, the thought of all these new signatories is still a bit of a wild card for me 🤔. Can't wait to see how this plays out in practice though! With more countries on board, maybe we'll actually get some real progress made... fingers crossed 😊.
