Advances in these areas will help to keep astronauts healthy during long-duration space travel and demonstrate technologies for future human and robotic exploration beyond low-Earth orbit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/topics\/moon-to-mars\" rel=\"noopener\">Moon and Mars<\/a>. Space station research through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/station\/research\/nlab\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\">ISS National Lab<\/a> also provides opportunities for other U.S. government agencies, private industry, and academic and research institutions, to conduct microgravity research that leads to new technologies, medical treatments, and products that improve life on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cargo resupply from U.S. companies ensures a national capability to deliver critical science research to the space station, significantly increasing NASA\u2019s ability to conduct new investigations at the only laboratory in space. This is the 20th SpaceX mission under NASA\u2019s Commercial Resupply Services contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Space Station is a convergence of science, technology and human innovation that demonstrates new technologies and enables research not possible on Earth. The space station has been occupied continuously since November 2000. In that time, 239 people and a variety of international and commercial spacecraft have visited the orbiting laboratory. The space station remains the springboard to in human exploration, including future missions to the Moon that will lead to America\u2019s next giant leap \u2013 sending astronauts to Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For launch coverage and more information about the mission, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/spacex\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>-end-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kathryn Hambleton<br>\nHeadquarters, Washington<br>\n202-358-1100<br>\n<a href=\"mailto:kathryn.hambleton@nasa.gov\">kathryn.hambleton@nasa.gov<\/a><br>\nMary MacLaughlin\/ Kenna Pell<br>\nKennedy Space Center, Fla.<br>\n321-867-2468<br>\n<a href=\"mailto:mary.maclaughlin@nasa.gov\">mary.maclaughlin@nasa.gov<\/a>, kenna.m.pell@nasa.gov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s note, Feb. 25: The launch has been rescheduled for 11:50 p.m. EST on March 6.
