For much more than 23 years, NASA has actually supported a continuous U.S. human presence aboard the orbiting research laboratory, whereby rocketeers have actually found out to reside as well as do work in room for prolonged time periods. The spaceport station is a springboard for creating a low Earth economic condition and NASA's next wonderful leaps in exploration, including objectives to the Moon under Artemis as well as, inevitably, human expedition of Mars.Acquire breaking news, pictures as well as attributes coming from the space station on Instagram, Facebook, as well as X.For additional information about the International Spaceport Station, its own study, and also staff, see:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- edge-.Jimi Russell/ Julian ColtreHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100james.j.russell@nasa.gov/ julian.n.coltre@nasa.gov.Sandra JonesJohnson Space Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
