#Artemis teams from home and abroad came together to celebrate @NASA_Orion’s first voyage to the Moon.

Orion is set to pass behind the Moon on Monday, Nov. 21, making its closest approach of about 80 mi (130 km) above the surface at 7:57am ET: go.nasa.gov/3AvqilJ

Yes, it's me, the german alien drone. Right now I'm playing #LastManStanding with Wladimir #FCKPTN and #Lawrow who failed. #IAEA is watching them. Cheers!


Spacecraft get selfies, too.

While teams performed a checkout on the @NASA_Orion spacecraft, these images were captured of the outside of the vehicle.

The #Artemis I mission is just a couple days from reaching the Moon: go.nasa.gov/3ELtv37

When a spacecraft takes a selfie is the photo free or is there someone who owns the photo rights 🤔


Just days from reaching the Moon, the @NASA_Orion spacecraft captured this selfie while flying through space.

On the third day of the #Artemis I mission and over halfway to the Moon, @NASA_Orion maneuvered its solar arrays and captured the Moon.

Flight controllers used cameras to inspect part of the crew module and European Service Module. Follow along here: go.nasa.gov/3tMuJVH

🖖🏼these are truly amazing times we live in. Thank you for sharing this.


What part of your culture would you take to space? For astronaut John Herrington, the first Native American in space, it was a traditional Chickasaw Nation flute. Herrington’s missions took him from the top of the world to under the sea. More: go.nasa.gov/3V6aZrA #NAHM

After astronaut Pete Conrad stuck the landing of the Apollo 12 Lunar Module #OTD in 1969, mere feet from Surveyor 3, his 1st word as he became the 3rd person to step on the Moon was "Whoopee!" He was so excited, he accidentally pointed his camera at the Sun, frying its circuits!

#25YearsAgo today, STS-87, the 8th Space Shuttle flight of 1997, launched on its way to the @Space_Station. One of the notable achievements from this mission: Takao Doi became the first Japanese citizen to walk in space!

Where do moons come from? We asked a NASA expert.

The #Artemis I mission is on its way to the Moon — and you have a front-row seat.

No, really. @Snapchat just released the Orion 360 Lens, which gives you a 360-degree look inside the @NASA_Orion spacecraft: lens.snapchat.com/d5f64103747c…

Lucy in the sky! On Oct. 16, NASA's #LucyMission flew a mere 160 miles (260 kilometers) from the Earth's surface. 22 minutes later, team members caught a glimpse of the spacecraft with a telescope in Nebraska, just as Lucy emerged from Earth's shadow. youtu.be/gSHJ3uSnI-A #NASASolarSystem


One of those days 😖 #OTD in 2008 during their first EVA of STS-126, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Steve Bowen were working on @Space_Station construction when a grease gun leaked grease into a crew tool bag. While they tried to clean off the grease, the bag drifted away. #NASAhistory
