The place is actually an important testbed for NASA to know as well as eliminate the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight as well as to expand commercial opportunities in reduced Earth track. As office providers concentrate on giving human area transportation services as well as places as component of a robust low Planet orbit economic climate, NASA is actually focusing extra information on deep room goals to the Moon as portion of Artemis to prepare for future human missions to Mars.Discover more about International Space Station investigation and also procedures 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 Area Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
