NASA and partner research flying aboard the CRS-30 mission includes a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/station\/research-explorer\/investigation\/?#id=8812\">plant metabolism<\/a> in space and a set of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/station\/research-explorer\/investigation\/?#id=8702\">new sensors<\/a> for free-flying Astrobee robots to provide 3D mapping capabilities.

These investigations lead to new technologies, medical treatments, and products that improve life on Earth. Other U.S. government agencies, private industry, and academic and research institutions can also conduct microgravity research through the agency\u2019s partnership with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.issnationallab.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\">International Space Station National Laboratory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humans have occupied the space station continuously since November 2000. In that time, 276 people and a variety of international and commercial spacecraft have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/international-space-station\/space-station-visitors-by-country\/\">visited the orbital outpost<\/a>. It remains the springboard to NASA\u2019s next great leap in exploration, including future missions to the Moon under Artemis, and ultimately, human exploration of Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more
