Astronauts living in space on the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA\u2019s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/directorates\/heo\/scan\/services\/networks\/tdrs_main\" rel=\"noopener\">Near Space Network Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (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\">Artemis<\/a>, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon in preparation for future human exploration of Mars.
