#Artemis I is safely back on Earth—so what's next for Artemis as we get ready to explore the Moon and Mars?

Our experts will answer your @NASAArtemis questions in a @reddit AMA tomorrow, Dec. 13, at 2pm ET (1900 UTC). Join us on /r/IAmA: teddit.pussthecat.org/r/IAmA

.@NASA_Orion is back, and with it are our test manikins: Commander Moonikin Campos, Helga, and Zohar, who have been collecting data on what future #Artemis astronauts will experience during the flight.

Not to mention Snoopy, our zero-gravity indicator. nasa.gov/moonikin-comic

Splashdown.

The @NASA_Orion spacecraft successfully completed a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean at 12:40pm ET (17:40 UTC) as the final major milestone of the #Artemis I mission. go.nasa.gov/3Fl7kzQ

Splashdown.

After traveling 1.4 million miles through space, orbiting the Moon, and collecting data that will prepare us to send astronauts on future #Artemis missions, the @NASA_Orion spacecraft is home.
#NASA

Thank you for sharing this #NASAMoonSnap with us!

Our #Artemis missions will lay the groundwork for taking the next giant leap — sending astronauts to Mars.

After evaluating the weather, the #Artemis I mission management team decided on a landing site in the Pacific Ocean near Guadalupe Island.

Splashdown is expected at 12:39pm ET (17:39 UTC) on Dec. 11: go.nasa.gov/3FgTnTv

“These images reveal with stunning humbling sublimity the triumph of the human spirit and breaking beyond the confines of the Earth.”

@HenryLouisGates reflects on the #Artemis I mission.
#NASAArtemis #Artemis

The #Artemis I mission is uncrewed, but the @NASA_Orion spacecraft is filled with science, payloads, and…

Easter eggs. Take a look at this image and see if you can find them all. We will reveal them all on Dec. 10.

"Let us hope that this milestone will inspire us to transcend 'all possible manner of differences,' as the great Du Bois once put it, and keep foremost in mind all that we have in common as human beings; as sisters and brothers here on Earth."

On flight day 19 for our @NASA_Orion spacecraft, four limiters responsible for downstream power switched off due to an issue with a power conditioning distribution unit.

The system is healthy, and there was no interruption to any critical systems: go.nasa.gov/3HaKBco

We have retrieved signal with @NASA_Orion after an expected loss of signal when the spacecraft flew directly behind the Moon.

You can see Earth in the distance. That's us. #Artemis

As the @NASA_Orion spacecraft prepares for the journey back to Earth, we reflect on all the women who led the Artemis I mission to the Moon.

Through #Artemis, we will see the first woman and first person of color walk on the lunar surface.
