NASA and the astronauts are continuing to review the data collected during the mission in order to acquire useful information and resources that can be used to continue studying space. The information obtained during the mission is expected to greatly contribute to advancing the human presence in space. Frank Rubio and his fellow astronauts showed once again the importance of space exploration and furthered the development of space technology and space-related endeavors.
