We're celebrating our 20th year of continuous presence aboard the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit this year, and we're on the verge of sending the first women and next men to the Moon as part of our Artemis lunar exploration program so we can prepare for human missions to Mars.

It's an incredible time in human spaceflight! Often the dream to be an astronaut is the spark that inspires people across the globe to pursue doing what they love and discovering and expanding knowledge that benefits all of us Earthlings.

We are scientists, engineers, IT specialists, human resources specialists, accountants, writers, technicians and many other kinds of people working together to break barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible. We invite you to come along with us on humanity's greatest journey to explore our universe.
