“Of course, for the entire last 26 years, all of it has benefitted these future missions. And in continuing some of these experiments that will help us with our first landing missions on the Moon makes it even more worthwhile and rewarding for us.” -- Jessica Meir NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and her crew mates recently discussed the upcoming Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station, slated for launch on Feb. 12. While aboard, this crew will also see the launch of four astronauts around the Moon on Artemis II – a mission made possible due to countless dedicated team members and decades of research in low Earth orbit.
