The International Space Station has been continuously inhabited for over 26 years, serving as a platform for scientific research and technological advancements. It plays a crucial role in NASA's efforts to understand the challenges of human spaceflight, foster commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit, and build a foundation for long-duration missions to the Moon, as part of the Artemis program, and ultimately, to Mars.
