The space station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and to expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit. As commercial companies concentrate on providing human space transportation services and destinations as part of a strong low Earth orbit economy, NASA is focusing its resources on deep space missions to the Moon as part of the Artemis campaign in preparation for future astronaut missions to Mars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAXA\u2019s (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency\u2019s)&nbsp;uncrewed HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft, which delivered about 12,000 pounds of supplies, scientific investigations, hardware, and other cargo to the International Space Station for NASA and its international partners, is scheduled to depart on Friday, March 6.
