For more than two decades, people have lived and worked
continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing
scientific knowledge, demonstrating new technologies, and making
research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. The station is a
critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges
of long-duration spaceflight and to expand commercial opportunities
in low Earth orbit. As commercial companies focus on providing
human space transportation services and destinations as part of a
robust low Earth orbit economy, NASA's Artemis campaign is underway
at the Moon, where the agency is preparing for future human
exploration of Mars.
