The plan is to make a one to two-month stay at the South Pole of the moon to learn more about it and the universe. Base camp will need infrastructure for power, waste disposal and communications, besides radiation shielding and a landing pad. The Artemis program is carried out by NASA along with European Space Agency (ESA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the Australian Space Agency (ASA).
