Astronauts living in space on the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA\u2019s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through the Near Space Network Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/directorates\/heo\/scan\/services\/networks\/tdrs_main\" rel=\"noopener\">TDRS<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more than 21 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/specials\/artemis\/\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA\u2019s Artemis program<\/a>, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon, with eventual human exploration of Mars. Inspiring the next generation of explorers \u2013 the Artemis Generation \u2013 ensures America will continue to lead in space exploration and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See videos and lesson plans highlighting research on the International Space Station at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stemonstation\"><strong>https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stemonstation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">-end-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katherine Brown<br>Headquarters, Washington<br>202-358-1288<br><a href=\"mailto:katherine.m.brown@nasa.gov\">katherine.m.brown@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandra Jones<br>Johnson Space Center, Houston<br>281-483-5111<br><a href=\"mailto:sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov\">sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Katherine Brown<br \/>\nHeadquarters, Washington<br \/>\n202-358-1288<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:katherine.m.brown@nasa.gov\">katherine.m.brown@nasa.gov<\/a><br \/>\nSandra Jones<br \/>\nJohnson Space Center, Houston<br \/>\n281-483-5111<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov\">sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: This advisory was updated on May 13 to update the start time of the downlink event.
