Following docking, the quartet opened the hatch and floated onboard the orbital outpost before providing welcoming remarks as its mission aboard the space station began. The four crew members will conduct a long-duration science mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency\u2019s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>See also <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nasa.gov\/commercialcrew\/2024\/03\/04\/nasas-spacex-crew-8-launches-to-international-space-station\/\">NASA\u2019s SpaceX Crew-8 Launches to International Space Station | Commercial Crew Program\/NASA &#8211; Mar.4.2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6GHnN2hM1Dg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>** Space Station Crew Talks with WUSA-TV, Washington D.C., University of Maryland &#8211; March 6, 2024<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/NASAgovVideo\/videos\">NASA Video<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 70 Flight Engineers Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps discussed life and work aboard the orbital outpost during an in-flight interview March 6 with WUSA-TV in Washington, D.C. and the University of Maryland.
