The place is actually a crucial testbed for NASA to recognize as well as overcome the problems of long-duration spaceflight and to grow business options in reduced Earth track. As office firms pay attention to supplying human space transportation services as well as locations as part of a robust reduced Earth orbit economic climate, NASA's Artemis campaign is underway at the Moon, where the agency is actually getting ready for potential human expedition of Mars.Discover a lot more info on NASA's Business Team 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.
