Quote from: Space NewsThe first Artemis mission to use the Gateway will be Artemis 4, currently scheduled for 2027. That means that NASA is preparing to give the go-ahead for that first logistics mission needed to support Artemis 4 this year. “We’re looking forward to ATP’ing that mission this year to enable that 2027 first crewed mission.” [...]He confirmed that SpaceX will use Dragon XL for those initial missions, but left the door open for using the company’s Starship vehicle for cargo delivery in the future. “We are all for enabling evolution,” he said. “We talked to them about Starship evolution and how it all worked together, but we’re not there yet because it’s still in a development phase.”NASA also envisions expanding the overall Gateway Logistics Services contract to add more providers. He noted NASA issued a request for information last year to understand emerging industry capabilities, such as new launch vehicles.“We want that. It’s just a matter of funding,” he said of adding providers. “We’ve got to get out first mission turned on and get a funding stream going so we can justify an on-ramp.”https://spacenews.com/nasa-plans-to-start-work-this-year-on-first-gateway-logistics-mission/

NASA previously planned to authorize the DSL contractor to start work on a logistics vehicle to support the Artemis V mission, but now plans to do so earlier to support the Artemis IV mission. Having a logistics delivery for Artemis IV could help address mass concerns for the PPE, HALO, and I-HAB because the logistics vehicle could deliver cargo and equipment to Gateway that would have previously needed to be launched on the other elements.
