I was under the impression that the upcoming Artemis Lunar Gateway (similar to the ISS but orbiting the moon) would allow for amateur radio payloads in X band

Mission appears behind though as 2022 has come and gone with 2026 also unlikely given lack of a suitable launch platform. Anyone have up to date info?

Is anyone else wondering how much a private ride to the moon would cost for a set (2M / 70cm / 23cm / 13cm) of transponders?
