LIVE NOW: The @NASAArtemis I mission is en route to the Moon. Hear from NASA leaders on the events of this morning and what's next for @NASA_Orion. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1jMKg…
Meet the members of the #Artemis Red Crew. Ahead of liftoff, they went into the blast danger zone to ensure the @NASA_SLS Moon rocket could launch safely.
LIFTOFF! @NASA_SLS and @NASA_Orion launch on their first flight, the #Artemis I mission. Keep checking back for more launch images 📷➡️flic.kr/s/aHBqjzG1pG #NasaHQPhoto
Moonbound! #Artemis I has completed its trans-lunar injection, a propulsive maneuver that accelerates the @NASA_Orion spacecraft to more than 22,600 mph (36,370 kph) and propels it on its path to the Moon.
The @NASA_SLS rocket has reached main engine cutoff, or MECO, in the mission timeline. The RS-25 engines have powered off and the core stage has separated. @NASA_Orion is now in orbit.
Singer @JoshGroban and jazz pianist @HerbieHancock performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” in honor of the historic launch of the #Artemis I mission around the Moon.

Nearly 50 years elapsed between these two photos. #WeAreGoing!!! ⬇️ #Apollo17 at 12:33 a.m. ET on Dec. 7, 1972 ↘️ #Artemis I 1:47 a.m. ET today #NASAhistory
#Artemis I Update: We are extending the countdown hold at T-10 minutes while the launch team estimates how much work needs to be done. This means we will slip into the two-hour launch window, and will share a revised launch time when it is confirmed. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1jMKg…
LIVE NOW: The #Artemis era of exploration begins today with @NASAArtemis I, the first integrated test flight of the rocket and spacecraft that will bring humanity to the Moon. Watch @NASA_SLS and @NASA_Orion embark on their first voyage. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1jMKg…
Cellist @YoYo_Ma performed a rendition of “America the Beautiful” with the Philadelphia Orchestra (@PhilOrch) to commemorate the launch of #Artemis I to the Moon.

Another spacewalk is in the books! @NASA_Astronauts Frank Rubio and Josh Cassada have successfully returned to the @Space_Station after a 7 hour and 11 minute spacewalk. The astronaut duo completed maintenance and updates needed on the ISS. Learn more: blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/20…
Expedition 68 Flight Engineers Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio of NASA concluded their spacewalk at 4:25 p.m. EST after 7 hours and 11 minutes in preparation for upcoming solar array installation.
This view of Shackleton crater at the Moon's south pole comes from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been mapping the Moon since 2009. As we prepare for the #Artemis I mission, here's a shout-out to the robotic spacecraft that have always scouted the way. 🛰🧵 1/3 #NASASolarSystem
One of the technology payloads aboard #Artemis I is @NASAPrize's Cube Quest Challenge winner Team Miles' CubeSat! Learn how this small satellite will demonstrate novel communications and propulsion tech from deep space. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/2oE1WUM #NASATechnology

#DYK @nasa's Deep Space Network does some serious choreography throughout the solar system on the daily. 📡 The DSN supports not only #Artemis but also dozens of robotic spacecraft exploring the solar system and their competing schedules! Learn how: go.nasa.gov/3UGRE0l #NASAJPL
The DSN will enable NASA to track and communicate with Artemis I while working to provide coverage across dozens of other missions throughout the solar system.

Good luck. I hope I can watch the launch tomorrow together with my son (5 years). He knows the SLS from a big rocket poster, so he is eagerly waiting for the launch. He has to go to kindergarten at 8 CET, so please launch on time!
Incredible views as Cassada and Rubio work on installing the right struts for upcoming solar array upgrades. They will start cleanup and head back to the airlock after installing the right mid strut. 🔧🌏 #ISS
We remember pilot Michael J. Adams, who perished #OTD 55 years ago when his X-15 broke apart after flying above an altitude of 50 miles. His was the only fatality of the X-15 program. Adams was posthumously awarded Astronaut Wings. Read more about Adams: go.nasa.gov/3E59Qd3 #NASAhistory
Sea level rise has continued to accelerate over the past three decades. 🌊 A @nasa study shows sea level rise will approach the one-foot mark for most U.S. coastlines by 2050. Learn how these projections could help coastal communities prepare: bit.ly/3TGiULh #NASAJPL
New results show average sea level rise approaching the 1-foot mark for most coastlines of the contiguous U.S. by 2050. The Gulf Coast and Southeast will see the most change.
Earth is an oasis not only in space, but in time. Every planet and star is a fleeting thing in the lifespan of the universe, but some stars live longer, billions of years longer, than others. So, what might that mean in our search for life beyond Earth? go.nasa.gov/3X79HhI #NASAExoplanets
In the search for life beyond Earth, astronomers look for planets in a star's "habitable zone" — sometimes nicknamed the "Goldilocks zone" — where temperatures are just right for liquid water to exist on a planet's surface.
what do we mean by habitable zone? surely any planetary body with a hot core or abundant radioactive elements that can produce enough heat to maintain a subsurface ocean , currents and mineral cycle can support life? Europa? Enceladus? Pluto?
Success! #OTD 56 years ago, Gemini XII splashed down into the Atlantic Ocean 4 days after it had been launched into space, with astronauts Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin onboard! Postflight medical examination determined both astronauts were in good shape. 🧑🚀🧑🚀 #NASAhistory
My dad was an AC on the U.S.S. Wasp for several of the Gemini recoveries, including this one. I have a memorial envelope (created by the ship's post office) with Lovell's autograph (along with envelopes for other Gemini missions, including a photograph of Neil Armstrong's crew with his autograph). This is one of the reasons I've been a proponent of NASA and space exploration since my youth. Thank you for posting this.
