Ingenuity perseveres.

Our #MarsHelicopter just flew its 50th flight on the Red Planet (out of a planned five), nearly two years after it first took to the Martian skies. This demo is giving a glimpse of the future of powered flight on other worlds. mars.nasa.gov/ingenuity

🏀 Swish! Nothing but net

Imagine shooting a basketball from 63,000 miles away into a 250 square mile net. That’s what our #OSIRISREx mission will be doing with a capsule of precious asteroid material this September.

We challenged the @washwizards to make their own trick shot

We celebrate International #HumanSpaceFlight Day honoring the accomplishments of the first person in space in 1961, and the first launch of the space shuttle in 1981.

Next, with @NASAArtemis, we continue humanity’s progress with Moon & Mars exploration! NASA.gov/artemis

Tail installed ✅

Soon, @NASAAero’s X-59 will take to the skies to demonstrate a new quiet form of supersonic flight. This technology could bring a return to supersonic flight over land—cutting flight times in half. More on the Quesst mission: nasa.gov/specials/Quesst/

What's new on the Web(b)?

We always have the latest hi-res images from @NASAWebb available to view (and download) at webbtelescope.org. Stop by and make sure you haven't missed any!
#NASA

We’ve been nominated for nine @TheWebbyAwards for bringing discoveries from across the universe right to your screen. ✨

We love sharing space with you. If the feeling is mutual, cast your #Webbys vote for NASA social media by Thursday, April 20: bit.ly/3zHiqgs

One year from now, millions of skywatchers across the U.S. will have the opportunity to see a total solar eclipse. It will be the last time one will cross the U.S. for more than 20 years.

Where will you be? go.nasa.gov/3KnSYRL

From Monday's #Artemis II crew announcement to the latest science updates from Mars and Uranus, it's been a whirlwind week across the solar system.

Check out what else has been going on This Week at NASA—then get the details on our Artemis II mission: nasa.gov/specials/artemis-ii/
#NASA

LIVE: Watch #TEMPO launch to orbit on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Liftoff expected as early as 12:30am ET (0430 UTC).

The @NASAEarth & @CenterForAstro mission is set to revolutionize air quality observations. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1yNGa…
#NASA

🚀 Launch alert: A new space-based instrument will monitor air quality across North America, providing hourly measurements to improve forecasts & inform policymakers.

#TEMPO is set to lift off no earlier than 12:30am ET (0430 UTC), Friday, April 7. Watch: go.nasa.gov/3Gsbt6v

Uranus. (Go ahead, get it out of your system. We tried.)⁣

Only Voyager 2 in the 1980s & Keck (with adaptive optics) have imaged the planet's rings before, and they've never been this clear. @NASAWebb highlights atmospheric features & 11 of its 13 rings: go.nasa.gov/414SqXV
#NASA

LIVE: Astronaut Frank Rubio and two cosmonauts are moving their Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft to a new docking port on the @Space_Station. Undocking is scheduled for 4:45am ET (0845 UTC), with redocking targeted for 5:23am (0923 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1RDGl…

Welcome to Twitter, @NASAScienceAA! 👋

Dr. Nicky Fox, our head of #NASAScience, will share updates about topics and missions ranging from our changing planet to our expanding universe. Follow along: science.nasa.gov
#NASA

Here they are. @SenBillNelson announces the #Artemis II crew, the next astronauts to fly around the Moon:

@Astro_Christina
@Astro_Jeremy
@AstroVicGlover
@Astro_Reid

We go together. nasa.gov/specials/artemis-ii/
#NASA

...and rounding out our #Artemis II Moon crew: mission commander @Astro_Reid!

Reid Wiseman lived & worked aboard the @Space_Station as a flight engineer in 2014. He also commanded the undersea research mission NEEMO21, and most recently served as Chief of the @NASA_Astronauts.
#NASA

Representing the @csa_asc on #Artemis II to the Moon is @Astro_Jeremy, from London, Ontario.

Jeremy Hansen was a fighter pilot before joining CSA, and currently works with NASA on astronaut training and mission operations. This will be Hansen’s first mission in space.
#NASA

Our #Artemis II pilot is @AstroVicGlover!

Victor Glover is part of our 2013 class of @NASA_Astronauts and was the pilot for NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-1 mission. He’s logged 3,000 flight hours in more than 40 different aircraft, and will pilot @NASA_Orion around the Moon.
#NASA

Meet the first member of our #Artemis II Moon crew: mission specialist @Astro_Christina!

Christina Koch visited the @Space_Station in 2019, where she took part in the first all-woman spacewalk. She began her career as an electrical engineer at @NASAGoddard.
#NASA

LIVE NOW: Who’ll fly around the Moon aboard the #Artemis II mission? You’re about to find out.

These astronauts will take the next giant leap — paving the way for future lunar landings and human exploration of Mars. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1BdxY…
