The station is an important testbed for NASA to understand and also overcome the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight as well as to grow commercial options in low The planet track. As commercial business focus on supplying human room transit solutions and also destinations as aspect of a strong reduced Planet track economy, NASA's Artemis initiative is underway at the Moon, where the agency is actually preparing for potential individual expedition of Mars.Find a lot more info on NASA's Business Workers Plan at:.https://www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.- end-.Joshua Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Raegan ScharfetterJohnson Area Center, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
