NASA's Artemis 1 mission will send astronauts to the International Space Station, and then use the station as a platform for a 6 month research mission to the Moon. The crew will use the time to gain knowledge about the Moon's environment and prepare for long-term exploration of its surface.
Crew-6 will work in Earth orbit after launch on Feb. 26, but the mission could also aid the next generation of missions to the moon.
