The station is actually an essential testbed for NASA to know and conquer the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to expand office chances in low The planet track. As business companies focus on providing human area transit services as well as locations as part of a sturdy low The planet track economic climate, NASA is focusing a lot more sources on profound room objectives to the Moon as portion of Artemis to prepare for future individual missions to Mars.Find out more regarding International Space Station research study as well as functions at:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- side-.Joshua Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Sandra JonesJohnson Space Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
