If we are going to live and work on the Moon, build the Moon Base, and eventually journey to Mars, we have to master the technologies that make sustained operations possible. There is impressive work happening at the University of North Dakota on habitats, spacesuits, human performance, mobility, and autonomous systems that directly connects to those challenges. Today, @SenJohnHoeven, General Guetlein, and I saw that work firsthand, touring UND’s lunar and Mars analog habitat and spacesuit lab while meeting with the students and researchers working through the real challenges of how humans will live, move, and operate on other worlds. We also joined the UAS Summit to talk about how advances in autonomy and aviation are opening up new challenges and possibilities across both air and space. North Dakota is helping build the capabilities America will need for the missions ahead. Thank you to Senator Hoeven, General Guetlein, and everyone at @UofNorthDakota for the warm welcome and outstanding work.

It's Earth Science Week!🌎 Celebrate by getting outside & admiring fall foliage with the @GLOBEProgram's North American Phenology Campaign.🍂 Your observations can help PACE scientists better map leaf color from space! Get started:

Drop everything! A new Drop Tower Challenge from @NASAglenn is here! 🫳⬇️ Teams of students in grades 8-12 are invited to design & build small devices that utilize wetting properties to create a fluid shift in microgravity. Proposals due Oct. 26!

It's full speed ahead for the 70 teams that have been selected to compete in NASA's 2027 Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC)! These college, high school, and middle school teams will spend the next nine months designing and building a human-powered or remote-controlled rover that will compete in April at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. Check out the full list of teams here:

Congratulations to the teams selected for the 2027 Human Exploration Rover Challenge and Student Launch! 🛞🚀 It's time to lock in & get to work. We can't wait to see your designs on the course & in the air next spring! Did your school or alma mater make the list? ⬇️
