Today’s astronauts are testing navigation tools for future Moon and Mars missions. 🌕 One is the centuries-old sextant. Once used to cross oceans, astonauts can use it as a reliable backup for space navigation. More: go.nasa.gov/4jlwmSg

Another Shot at Lunar Ops! The Mass Spectrometer Observing Lunar Operations (MSOLO), developed by Kennedy, has been selected by Magna Petra to search for gases trapped under the lunar surface. Successfully operated during the Intuitive Machines 2, it will again launch to the

Lunar drill passes the test ☑ The PRIME-1 (Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment 1) mission served as a successful technology demonstration for drilling on the Moon. The TRIDENT drill and MSOLO instrument worked together to help scientists learn more about lunar resources:

The team will continue to attempt to recontact Lunar Trailblazer through mid-June, as modeling indicates that the lighting conditions during this time could provide enough sunlight to recharge the solar panel’s batteries and potentially regain command of the spacecraft:

Does the Moon have an atmosphere? Yes, but just barely! Molecules around the Moon are so few & far between that they travel long distances without running into anything, even each other. Get to know the lunar exosphere – and learn how it's changing: go.nasa.gov/43cAIFC

Breathing Life into Moon Soil Testing 🌙 For the first time ever, Kennedy's Swamp Works team measured molecular oxygen in its pure form along with the production of metals from a batch of dust and rock that simulates lunar soil: go.nasa.gov/4kaCcGl

The Moon does not have erupting volcanoes today, but it was once flooded with flowing lava. By studying lunar geology (including past volcanism), we learn more about how our Moon formed—which helps us understand how other rocky worlds form and change, too. go.nasa.gov/4jPXn0E

Following an evaluation of partnership proposals for VIPER, NASA has decided to explore alternative approaches to deliver its water-seeking robot to the lunar surface. We appreciate the efforts of those who submitted proposals and look forward to accomplishing volatile science

🚀 Stacking of NASA's Moon rocket continues! NASA's Exploration Ground Systems teams have successfully completed stacking of the core stage, launch vehicle stage adapter, and interim cryogenic propulsion stage for NASA_SLS! Up next? The rocket will undergo testing ahead of Orion stacking for

April showers bring May Flower(Moon)s! 🌼 The next full moon occurs Mon. May 12 at 12:56 p.m. EST, but it will look full the night before and after. For more May skywatching: go.nasa.gov/4m2QjPL

.NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera has captured images of the planned landing site for ispace’s RESILIENCE lunar lander, scheduled to touch down no earlier than June 5, 2025. The site lies within Mare Frigoris, a volcanic region on the Moon that formed more than

The results are in! 🏆 The 2024 NASA Pictures of the Year have been announced. Congratulations to all the winners, and to Artemis — which was represented heavily in the images!

Great balls of fire! 🔥  On this week’s #HWHAP, two NASA experts discuss an experiment that will further our understanding of flame behavior on the lunar surface to keep astronauts safe. go.nasa.gov/3H9urSL

Boot Camp for the Moon 🧑‍🚀 NASA Astronauts and NASA Artemis teams on the ground prepare and train for future crewed missions to the Moon by practicing moonwalks in the Arizona desert! The lunar-like landscape allows teams on Earth to complete technology demonstrations, hardware

Power up 🔋✅ Technicians recently powered on the NASA Artemis III Orion crew module. This initial power on marked the startup of the crew module’s computers, power and data units, which are responsible for commanding vehicle subsystems. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4kd02RT
