The signing ceremony took place in Abidjan, the West African nation's largest city, marking what NASA described as the largest milestone yet for the accords.
Growing international coalition
NASA Deputy Administrator said the United States and Cote d'Ivoire already cooperate on Earth, framing the new space partnership as an extension of existing ties between the two countries.
The Artemis Accords set out principles for civil space exploration, including transparency, interoperability, and the peaceful use of outer space, and have been signed by a growing list of countries since the initiative launched.
