From the creator

During a news conference on Jan. 14 from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, in Houston, agency officials announced the awards of three cargo contracts to ensure that the critical science, research and technology demonstrations that are informing the journey to Mars will be delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) from 2019 through 2024. The agency unveiled its selection of Orbital ATK of Dulles, Virginia; Sierra Nevada Corporation of Sparks, Nevada; and SpaceX of Hawthorne, California to continue building on the initial resupply partnerships with two American companies. These Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-2) contracts are designed to obtain cargo delivery services to the space station, disposal of unneeded cargo, and the return of research samples and other cargo from the station back to NASA.
