POV: You’re coming home after a journey around the Moon. 🌕
Before reentering Earth’s atmosphere at the end of Artemis II, the Orion spacecraft’s crew module — carrying the astronauts — separated from the service module that provided propulsion and power throughout the mission.

NASA is seeking industry collaboration for the Mars Telecommunications Network.
Reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity will enable future Red Planet explorers to send science data, imagery, and critical mission information to Earth. Learn more:

NASA is preparing to dock with commercial landers in Earth orbit with Artemis III in 2027 and send astronauts to the Moon with Artemis IV in 2028.
Check out the full-scale prototype of @BlueOrigin’s Blue Moon Mark 2, now at @NASA_Johnson.

Planning is underway for our Artemis III mission, which will test the capabilities of NASA's Orion spacecraft and one or both commercial landers from @BlueOrigin and @SpaceX as they meet and dock in Earth's orbit. Details:

There's nothing better than seeing an SLS rocket stage vertical! 🏗️
Technicians at @nasakennedy have completed operations of lifting the largest section of the core stage for NASA’s Artemis III SLS rocket into High Bay 2, where it will be connected to the engine section.

Wind tunnel testing? We’ve been at it for decades. 💁
Seen here in the ‘60s is an Apollo Command Module model being tested in our Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel.
Generations of air and spacecraft have had their critical safety checks here to ensure they’re ready to take to the skies to fly. Explore more:

NASA invites media to annual Lunabotics challenge at NASA Kennedy.
50 college teams from across the country will convene to design, build, and operate their own lunar robot prototypes to help NASA prepare for future Artemis missions to the Moon.

Life inside Orion!
The Moon joy was (and continues to be!) contagious as the Artemis II mission flew around the Moon and broke the record for farthest distance traveled from Earth.

A full-scale prototype of the crew cabin of Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 2 crew lander is now operational for training and testing at @nasa_johnson!
Read how we will be using this crew cabin for simulations to prepare for future Artemis missions >>

What does it mean to train for a mission you might never fly? 🌙
On this week’s #HWHAP#, @NASAArtemis II backup crew members @NASA astronaut Andre Douglas and CSA astronaut Jenni Gibbons reflect on what it was like to train alongside the prime crew, support the mission every step of the way, and look back now that the journey around the Moon is complete.

Take a peek inside the regenerative fuel cell system our researchers are preparing to test over the next few months.
This technology operates like a rechargeable battery and could revolutionize the way @NASA stores energy during future Moon missions — potentially powering habitats, rovers, and other essential systems.

POV: You're inside Integrity with the Artemis II crew for reentry all the way to splashdown. @csa_asc @astro_reid @Astro_Christina @AstroVicGlover @NASAArtemis
During the Artemis II mission, astronauts had a fun time playing around with water in the weightlessness of space.
Artemis II was @CSA_ASC astronaut @Astro_Jeremy's first spaceflight — so his crewmates taught him a lot about the physics of water in space.

NASA’s Artemis program has its eyes on the Moon—but so does Landsat! 🌕
Once a month, the Landsat satellites turn to look at the Moon instead of Earth. Observing the Moon helps calibrate the satellites’ instruments, allowing Landsat to consistently and reliably study our planet.

After carrying the Artemis II crew 694,481 miles around the Moon and back, Orion is home at @NASAKennedy!
Inside the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, teams will now inspect the spacecraft, retrieve post flight data, and remove excess fuel and coolant.
