The NASA sales crew has delivered its safe, reliable and profitable transport objective to and from the international space station from the United States thanks to a partnership with the American private industry. This partnership opens up access to a low terrestrial orbit at the international space station to more people, more sciences and more commercial opportunities. For almost 25 years, humans have continuously lived and worked on the international space station, progressing scientific knowledge and demonstrating new technologies that allow us to prepare for human exploration of the Moon while we are preparing in Mars.
