The Orion spacecraft at top of the SLS rocket is back on the launch pad to be prepared for its launch at earliest on 1st April. Europe plays a crucial role to bring humans back to the Moon. Check out our latest story to learn how the European space industry led by European Space Agency is

Airbus Space European Space Agency We can't wait for this launch of the #ArtemisII mission! We celebrate this historic event with a special offer for this nice #SLS model ready for your desktop and/or for launch 🚀: raketenmodellbau-klima.de/e-vendo.php?a=… #NASA #ESA #ESM #Airbus #Artemis #Moon 🌘 #STEAM #STEMEd

#OTD 9 years ago we launched the brave explorer Mausonaut with an mini #Ariane6 #rocket to his final official mission to the mini Lunar Gateway MoonDot Station - all in the parallel #MoonDot universe! youtu.be/CJZPjSuv56c #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA #minilaunchers 🚀

🌙 Next week. Lunar mission #Artemis II is currently set to launch on 1 April (23:24 BST/00:24 CEST, 2 April). Orion’s powerhouse is European: our Service Module will deliver power, propulsion and life support, to send crew around the Moon. (Pic: ESA - S. Corvaja)

European Space Agency NASA Artemis Agence spatiale canadienne Canadian Space Agency Airbus Space We can't wait for this launch and mission to start, finally! Go #Artemis, go #SLS, go #Orion, go European Service Module #ESM!

OMG! We are going back to the Moon! The #ArtemisII mission just begun with the launch of the giant SLS launcher! And we had a watch party here with Mausonaut, Altaira, MiniAstroAmelie, Mini Astro Luca and the girl and the boys from JINJER ! And your party?

Great to see finally humans flying to the #Moon - and finding some time to reflect on Easter! That brings back great memories about my Easter time back in 2017 during my 5th space mission in the #MoonDot universe returning home from MoonDot Station: mausonaut.wordpress.com/2017/03/22/mis…

All eyes on the #Moon during the Lunar flyby of the #ArtemisII mission! We are watching the historic event with our mini friends from @ESA, NASA, JINJER ... And how does your watch party look like? #Artemis #ESA #NASA #ForwardToTheMoon #ForwardTogether #STEMEd

Did you send your name aboard Artemis II??? If you did, then your name is literally in my pocket!! And every time you see me floating around the Orion spacecraft — that’s where your name is! With ME! Don’t worry — I’ve kept your names safe as I’ve flown around the Moon 🫡 -Rise

NASA Artemis Thank you for the great service, Rise! Am I the only mouse on board? Happy floating anyway! Enjoy the remaining time of the #ArtemisII mission!

Mausonaut I think the more important question is... who's cuter?! -Rise

NASA Artemis Thanks a lot, Rise! Oh, there is no doubt that you are way cuter than me - just a tiny mouse from the parallel #MoonDot universe! But I have spent more time in space during my six spaceflights including the Lunar landing in 2022! And that's a different topic! 🤣

Hello #space fanatics! What are you doing just right now? We are following the return of the NASA Artemis II mission with the lovely Rise and 4 super kind humans back to Earth! That's the most critical mission phase! Please join us to watch here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR2K…

... we have several friends here today watching with us the live transmission of the return to Earth of the NASA Artemis II human crew (and my buddy Rise) after the amazing flyby mission around the #Moon! These are our mini friends from #Ukraine from the band JINJER !

... OMG! This is incredible footage of the NASA Artemis II crew module separation with Rise and 4 humans on board from the 11th European Service Module! We four here in the center experienced that at least once, but never saw it like that! #MoonDot 🌒 #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA #NASA

... and we have SPLASHDOWN of #Apollo18, wait NASA Artemis II with my buddy Rise and 4 humans on board in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego! Woohoo! This was really an incredible journey! The future we have dreamed of has finally begun ! #Artemis #NASA #ESA #ForwardToTheMoon 🌒

Mausonaut NASA Artemis We are still waiting here to learn more about the status of the NASA Artemis II crew! Mausonaut is a bit worried because nobody is mentioning his buddy Rise! Just saying ... any news about Rise NASA? #STEMEd #STEAM #NASA #ESA #ForwardToTheMoon #ForwardTogether #MoonDot 🌒

#OMG! Nine years already since the touchdown of the #MoonDot #space capsule at the beach in West Florida! This was the end of my final official space mission to the international mini Lunar Gateway MoonDot Station lead by European Space Agency ! mausonaut.wordpress.com/2017/03/22/mis… #STEMEd #ESA #NASA

... if you want to learn more about my 5th space mission with launches of 2 #Ariane6 launchers and one #Falcon9 with some cheese, 2 #spacewalks and much more fun please have a look here: mausonaut.wordpress.com/2017/03/22/mis… #STEMEducation #STEAM #ESA #NASA #ForwardToTheMoon 🌖 #MoonDot

Is this the #ArtemisII #Orion capsule? No. It's even better: this is the very 1st Orion capsule that was in #space in 2014 during the #EM1 mission! I visited @nasakennedy with my buddy Stu Mcclung 9 years ago. Thank you so much Stu! #STEMEd #Artemis #MoonDot 🌒 #ESA #NASA
