NASA is currently in the Artemis program that was designed for the return to the moon and place the first woman and next man in 2025, and demonstrate sustainable exploration with the Lunar Gateway, that will begin construction in 2022 during Artemis IV. Unique to this program is the use of a technology like the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft; this program has an offshoot from the international community like ESA and JAXA due to the systems like HALO, environmental control, and life support. The Gateway using an advanced Solar Electric Propulsion System will enable missions such as deep space exploration, scientific research, and maybe even future Mars missions. NASA has recently uploaded a rather spectacular 3D animation of what the Gateway will eventually look like and how good it will be.
