This are going to be the 4th spaceflight for Pettit as well as Ovchinin, as well as the second for Vagner.For much more than twenty years, people have resided as well as worked continually aboard the International Spaceport station, accelerating scientific knowledge, and also making investigation innovations that are not feasible on Earth. The station is an essential testbed for NASA to understand as well as overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight as well as to grow commercial options in reduced The planet orbit. As industrial business concentrate on supplying human room transit solutions as well as destinations as part of a strong low The planet track economic situation, NASA is centering even more resources on profound room goals to the Moon as portion of Artemis in preparation for potential human goals to Mars.Learn more about International Space Station investigation and 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 Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
