NASA has requested Northrop Grumman to cease work on the Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) module, which was intended for the Lunar Gateway project. This decision follows NASA's recent announcement to shift its lunar exploration focus from an orbital space station to a Moon base. The HALO module, which is 6.1 meters long, was designed to be a pressurized habitat for astronauts visiting the Lunar Gateway. NASA has previously awarded contracts totaling $1.1 billion to Northrop Grumman for the design, construction, and integration of this module with the Power and Propulsion Element, which is now being repurposed for a different project.
