Moonset Dreaming | International Space Station

NASA astronaut and flight engineer Jessica Watkins: "As beautiful as the Earth is, I can't seem to take my eyes off of the Moon. Every moonset on the International Space Station brings us one step closer to earthrise on the Moon as we conduct scientific research and develop new technologies that will help pave the way to the lunar surface."
The NASA-led Artemis program is a new generation of lunar exploration missions designed to send humans farther into space than ever before. The Artemis missions are increasingly complex endeavours that will lay the foundation for sustainable human and robotic exploration of Earth's only natural satellite, the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA aims to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, heralding a new era for space exploration and utilization.
While NASA is leading the Artemis missions, international partnerships will play a key role in achieving a sustainable and robust presence on the Moon while preparing to conduct a historic human mission to Mars.
Jessica Watkins' Biography (NASA)
An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
