This partnership is changing the arc of human spaceflight history by opening access to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station to more people, more science, and more commercial opportunities. The space station remains the springboard to NASA\u2019s next great leap in space exploration, including future missions to the Moon and, eventually, to Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For NASA\u2019s launch blog and more information about the mission, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/commercialcrew\"><strong>https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/commercialcrew<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">-end-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joshua Finch \/ Stephanie Schierholz<br> Headquarters, Washington<br> 202-358-1100<br> <a href=\"mailto:joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov\">joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov<\/a> \/ <a href=\"mailto:stephanie.schierholz@nasa.gov\">stephanie.schierholz@nasa.gov<\/a><br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kyle Herring \/ Kathleen Ellis<br> Kennedy Space Center, Fla.<br> 321-867-2468<br> <a href=\"mailto:kyle.j.herring@nasa.gov\">kyle.j.herring@nasa.gov<\/a> \/ <a href=\"mailto:kathleen.h.ellis@nasa.gov\">kathleen.h.ellis@nasa.gov<\/a><br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan Sumner \/ Dan Huot<br> Johnson Space Center, Houston<br> 281-483-5111<br> <a href=\"mailto:megan.c.sumner@nasa.gov\">megan.c.sumner@nasa.gov<\/a> \/ <a href=\"mailto:daniel.g.huot@nasa.gov\">daniel.g.huot@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: This advisory was updated with a new advisory issued April 21, 2021.
