NASA aims to return astronauts aboard Starliner by 2028 and plans to certify a new rocket for future missions.

Three months after Crew-12 launched to the International Space Station, CRS-34 followed with 6,500 pounds of supplies and science. Here’s a closer look at the experiments aboard and how research in space could benefit life on Earth.
