The place is actually an important testbed for NASA to know as well as get over the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight as well as to expand commercial chances in low Planet orbit. As industrial business concentrate on supplying individual space transportation companies and places as portion of a robust reduced Planet track economic condition, NASA's Artemis campaign is underway at the Moon, where the firm is actually getting ready for future human exploration of Mars.Discover more info on NASA's Industrial Staff 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 Room Center, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
