The station is a critical testbed for NASA to know as well as conquer the problems of long-duration spaceflight as well as to expand office options in reduced Earth orbit. As industrial firms concentrate on supplying human area transportation services and also destinations as part of a strong low Planet track economy, NASA is concentrating even more sources on deep space goals to the Moon as part of Artemis to prepare for potential human missions to Mars.Learn more regarding International Spaceport station investigation as well as 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 Room Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
