The station is a vital testbed for NASA to comprehend and also beat the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to expand industrial possibilities in reduced Earth track. As office companies concentrate on providing human room transportation companies and locations as aspect of a robust reduced The planet track economic situation, NASA is actually centering even more information on profound room goals to the Moon as component of Artemis to prepare for potential human purposes to Mars.Discover more concerning International Space Station study as well as 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 Room Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
