The Republic of San Marino has joined the Artemis Accords, becoming the 76th signatory to the agreement. The signing ceremony took place in Rimini on Friday, September 25, 2026, with NASA and U.S. Department of State officials in attendance. Rossano Fabbri, the Minister of Industry and Technological Research of San Marino, signed the document on behalf of his country.
NASA Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson stated that the Republic of San Marino has joined a coalition of nations dedicated to the peaceful, transparent, and responsible exploration of space. The Artemis Accords were established in 2020 by NASA, the State Department, and seven other founding nations to address the increasing interest in lunar activities by governments and private companies.
The accords outline principles for safe and coordinated exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond, including peaceful exploration, aid to those in need, access to scientific data, and preservation of historically significant sites. By signing the Artemis Accords, San Marino opens the door to opportunities for future lunar exploration through NASA, contributing to humanity's return to the Moon and the Golden Age of exploration and innovation.
