How it started ➡️ How it's going! We are standing on the shoulders of giants this #WomensEqualityDay as we celebrate the heroic Women@NASA who blazed the trail for all women that followed their footsteps in discovery and exploration.

Mars ready 🚀🔴 NASA science onboard @rocketlab’s twin spacecraft will liftoff from Space Launch Complex 36 for the inaugural launch of @BlueOrigin’s New Glenn rocket as part of the agency’s ESCAPADE mission, targeted for NET Oct. 13. Media invite: go.nasa.gov/3Z1qF4S

Do you ever wonder how self-flying aircraft learn about their environment to avoid hazards? 🚁 NASA Aeronautics researchers recently developed a camera pod with sensors to help with this challenge by advancing computer vision for autonomous aviation. 🔗: go.nasa.gov/471iXta

Installed and tested here at Kennedy, the solar arrays for NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft completed successful deployment ahead of launch later this year ⤵

There's always something happening in the Vehicle Assembly Building! Teams are currently outfitting the VAB's High Bay 2 for future vertical assembly of the rocket stage that will help power the NASA Artemis campaign to the Moon. More: go.nasa.gov/3Z4hArM

We're going on an adventure! The massive Apollo 17 rocket left the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center #OTD in 1972 and rolled out to the launchpad for the final crewed flight to the Moon. What the Apollo 17 astronauts were up to that summer: go.nasa.gov/4cJGlg6

Teams at NASA's Kennedy Space Center have been updating High Bay 2 to allow for vertical assembly of the SLS core stage beginning with #Artemis III. All major structures for the core stage will continue to be produced and manufactured at Michoud Assembly Facility. 🔗go.nasa.gov/4g3EYMk

#GoEuropaClipper launch update: NASA’s Europa Clipper mission remains on track, with a launch period opening on Thursday, Oct. 10! Launch will be atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A. More: go.nasa.gov/473wa4U

24 Hours ⏩ 2 Minutes! Get a behind-the-scenes look at the assembly of NASA Europa Clipper! One of the main objectives during this time period was to install & test the spacecraft’s massive solar arrays, which are needed to travel the 1.8 BILLION-mile journey to meet up with Jupiter.

40 years ago: Discovery’s maiden voyage Space shuttle Discovery soars away from Launch Pad 39A #OTD in 1984, beginning its maiden voyage and a storied spaceflight career that spanned more than 26 years. The on-time liftoff was 8:42am ET. Discovery now calls National Air and Space Museum home.

#Crew9 launch update: NASA Astronauts Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov will fly to International Space Station as commander and mission specialist, respectively, as part of a two-crew member flight aboard a SpaceX Dragon. Liftoff targeted NET Sept. 24 from Space Launch

This #LaborDay, we thank the people from many different fields and backgrounds who help us explore the cosmos. We're grateful for our passionate, dedicated workforce and proud to be one of the best places to work in the federal government: nasa.gov/people/

Welcome to Florida! The European Space Agency European Service Module for the the upcoming NASA Artemis III mission has arrived to the Space Coast.

MEDIA: Accreditation is open for the NASA Europa Clipper mission launch to Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa! NASA and SpaceX are targeting a launch period opening Oct. 10 atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A. Apply by Sept. 27: go.nasa.gov/4gemHf5

Interested in sharing the story of our mission to Europa, Jupiter's icy moon? Apply now for your opportunity to attend a #NASASocial at NASA's Kennedy Space Center for the launch of our #EuropaClipper spacecraft: go.nasa.gov/4dMv5kB También en español: go.nasa.gov/4e6j2hC

The @ESA European Service Module for #Artemis III is inside the spacecraft factory at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The team is preparing to remove the service module from the environmentally-controlled transport container that protected it on the journey from Germany.

Thank you for visiting, Bill Nelson!

The Space Launch System is coming together at NASA's Kennedy Space Center! Soon, our #Artemis II astronauts will embark on their journey around the Moon—opening the door for a new chapter of awe and discovery.

When all your packages arrive at the same time... This week, European Space Agency's European Service Module III completed its transatlantic journey aboard the Canopée cargo ship, while NASA’s Pegasus barge ferried multi-mission hardware for NASA Artemis across the Gulf: go.nasa.gov/3ATGNvb
