Through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/artemis\" rel=\"noopener\">Artemis<\/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<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 \/>\n281-483-8670<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>Preschool through sixth grade students from West Hollywood, California, will have an opportunity next week to hear from NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
