Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO)
The most mature technology for deep space habitation
Advancing Human Exploration
The Artemis campaign is the most daring, technically challenging, and collaborative endeavor humanity has ever set out to do. Northrop Grumman is building on our unique legacy, forged during the dawn of human space age, to deliver safe and reliable habitation options for Artemis astronauts taking on this mission.
Pioneering for Deep Space
The HALO design leverages extensive human factors testing to provide efficient usage of space, logical crew interfaces, organized cargo stowage, and readily accessible and maintainable equipment.

Technology Evolution
We are building on our heritage with new innovations to make history. HALO’s technology stems from demonstrated success with our Cygnus spacecraft, which has delivered supplies to the International Space Station on over 20 missions. Cygnus meets NASA’s rigorous standards for human-rated spacecraft. Our experienced team is working diligently, making significant progress on HALO to be ready to support the Artemis mission.
