On behalf of researchers worldwide, station crews conduct experiments only possible in the unique conditions of space, observe Earth as a system, and test new technologies that ultimately will help send humans far beyond Earth.<br><br>Artemis missions will send humans to the Moon for long-term scientific exploration and discovery. Artemis I was an uncrewed flight test that traveled 40,000 miles past the far side of the Moon and back to Earth to validate the Space Launch System rocket, Orion spacecraft, and other key systems. Artemis II will be the first flight test with astronauts to validate crew life support systems, and Artemis III will mark the beginning of humanity\u2019s return to the lunar surface.<br><br>Living and working in low Earth orbit and at the Moon will help NASA and its partners prepare for the next giant leap: sending humans to Mars.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/missions\/?terms=10917\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-sm link-external-false\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1 \" >\n\t\t\t\tView Human Spaceflight Missions                 \t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col desktop:padding-left-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"display-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-tabbed-section-image margin-bottom-2 minh-mobile\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/iss068e065044_alt_0.jpg?w=640\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Clockwise from left, Expedition 68 flight engineers Anna Kikina, Josh Cassada, Nicole Mann, and Koichi Wakata pose for a fun portrait aboard the International Space Station.
