The U.S. side will be represented by Wesley Brooks, Assistant Secretary for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. NASA Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson confirmed the upcoming signing in a press release.

The Artemis Accords, established in 2020, were initiated by the United States, with NASA and the State Department leading the effort alongside seven other founding nations. The framework emerged in response to increasing global interest in lunar activities from both governmental and private entities. Its core objective is to introduce practical principles designed to enhance safety, transparency, and coordination in civil space exploration endeavors on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
