NASA announces it adds four new countries to the Artemis Accords: Albania, Croatia, Côte d’Ivoire, and San Marino. With these additions, the total number of signatories reaches 76 countries. NASA frames the milestone as further momentum for international cooperation around peaceful and responsible space exploration.

The two outlets report the same core details: the specific new signatories and the updated overall participation count. NASA’s release emphasizes the broader intent of the accords and the role of committed partners in shaping the future of space. The Washington Times focuses more directly on the announcement and the resulting total number of signatories, without adding additional context beyond the agency’s statement.
