NASA and its partners continue to maximize use of the space station, where astronauts have lived and worked continuously for more than 23 years testing technologies, performing research, and developing the skills needed to operate future commercial destinations in low Earth orbit, and explore farther from Earth. Research conducted aboard the space station provides benefits for people on Earth and paves the way for future long-duration trips to the Moon and beyond through NASA\u2019s Artemis missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about current science missions and the International Space Station at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a
