The station is a critical testbed for NASA to recognize and also conquer the problems of long-duration spaceflight and also to broaden commercial chances in reduced Earth orbit. As office business pay attention to offering individual area transport companies and also places as part of a robust reduced Earth orbit economy, NASA is concentrating a lot more resources on profound area purposes to the Moon as aspect of Artemis to prepare for future human goals to Mars.Discover more regarding International Space Station research study and also operations at:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- end-.Josh Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Sandra JonesJohnson Space Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
