NASA has published a Detailed video of the flight of the Moon Gatea key part of the Artemis program. The 2-minute visualization will give you a good idea of the elements that make up the Gateway, including Canada's contribution, the Canadarm3.
NASA has slightly changed its way of referring to the Lunar Gateway, preferring to call it the Gateway Space Station. It is now described as “a lunar-orbiting space station that enables long-term human exploration of the Moon and new opportunities for scientific discovery as a foundational system to support NASA’s Artemis campaign.”
The following graphic outlines all current contributions to the Artemis Mission, including the Gateway.
As for when the Gateway will be assembled in lunar orbit, NASA recently said that “in-orbit assembly of the fully realized Gateway space station will begin with the Artemis IV mission launching no earlier than September 2028.”
