Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The four crew
members are scheduled to arrive at the International
Space Station on Aug. 27 where they will conduct a
six-month mission living and working aboard the
microgravity laboratory to advance scientific
knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for
future human and robotic exploration missions. Such

groundwork for future human exploration through the
agency's Artemis missions, which will send
astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future
expeditions to Mars.
