10985 (2024). Hon Rachel Brooking to the Minister for Space: Does the Minister support New Zealand's ongoing participation in the Artemis Accords, and if so, what actions, if any, has she taken to progress that participation?
Hon Judith Collins: Officials participate in a monthly signatory meetings to discuss implementation of the Artemis Accords. These continue to be factored into relevant Space policy development. In April I attended the Space Symposium in Colorado, where I met with the Deputy Administrator of NASA, Pam Melroy. Our meeting covered a range of areas in which we are working with NASA, including our participation in the Artemis Accords and we had a productive conversation about further steps to build on this relationship.
