To ask questions, reporters must dial into the news conference no later than 12:15 p.m. Questions may also be submitted on social media using #AskNASA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Crew-5 astronauts have been living and working aboard the station since their docking Oct. 6, 2022. During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/station\/research\/index.html\">their mission<\/a>, the crew contributed to hundreds of experiments and technology demonstrations, including cardiovascular health, bioprinting, and fluid behavior in microgravity to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and to benefit life on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SpaceX Dragon Endurance spacecraft will undock from the space station in early March, splashing down off the coast of Florida to conclude their mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crew-5 is the fifth crew rotation mission with SpaceX for the agency\u2019s Commercial Crew Program. Regular commercial crew rotation missions enable NASA to continue the important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the station. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency\u2019s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AstroDuke\" rel=\"noopener\">Mann<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Astro_Wakata\" rel=\"noopener\">Wakata<\/a> on Twitter, and learn more about their scientific journey and download images and video on NASA\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow updates on the Crew-5 mission at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/station\"><strong>https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/station<\/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>Joshua Finch<br>Headquarters, Washington<br>202-358-1100<br><a href=\"mailto:joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov\">joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan Huot<br>Johnson Space Center, Houston<br>281-483-5111<br><a href=\"mailto:daniel.g.huot@nasa.gov\">daniel.g.huot@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Joshua Finch<br \/>\nHeadquarters, Washington<br \/>\n202-358-1100<br \/><a href=\"mailto:joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov\">joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov<\/a><br \/>\nDan Huot<br \/>\nJohnson Space Center, Houston<br \/>\n281-483-5111<br \/><a href=\"mailto:daniel.g.huot@nasa.gov\">daniel.g.huot@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA\u2019s SpaceX Crew-5 will answer media questions at 12:30 p.m. EST Wednesday, March 1, about their time aboard the International Space Station.
