Artemis Accords Principles in Practice

How bilateral deconfliction preserves freedom of scientific exploration without asserting territorial sovereignty.

Section 11: Deconfliction & Safety Zones

Signatory nations declare temporary, operationally proportionate safety zones to prevent harmful physical, chemical, or radio-frequency interference with active surface hardware.

Section 9: Preserving Outer Space Heritage

Historic landing sites (such as Surveyor, Apollo, and Luna) require designated exclusion envelopes to shield delicate artifacts from rocket plume scour and rover dust deposition.

Section 8 & 10: Scientific Transparency

Safety zones must never be permanent or exclusionary monopolies. Signatories commit to publishing open coordinate registries, orbital trajectories, and environmental data.
