【 摘 要 】

NASA’s missions rely on the Space Network to relay critical mission data to control centers and scientists here on Earth. The international Space Station is NASA’s most critical missions that relies on this network. The International Space Station plays a key role in the international science community, enabling human spaceflight, space and Earth science experiments, as well as technology demonstrations, in the space environment. The unique environment of the station’s approximately 250-mile-high orbit allows astronauts to conduct experiments which provide valuable insight in the fields of physics, biology, astronomy, meteorology and more. The station also transmits time-sensitive, mission-critical data like information about the crew’s health and the status of the station’s systems.
