On International Day of #HumanSpaceFlight , we celebrate the stellar feats of the past and look to the future. The era of human spaceflight began today in 1961 when Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space.
Looking ahead, we're going back to the Moon with NASA Artemis!
Astronauts at NASA's Johnson Space Center are using virtual reality to explore Gateway. When they slip on their headsets, they're not just seeing the stationโthey're in it, meticulously surveying every detail and offering crucial insights on design and functionality. go.nasa.gov/4d1muum

Welding: โ ! Gateway's HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) is one step closer to launch following welding completion in Turin, Italy. Provided by Northrop Grumman, HALO will offer space for crew to live, work, and prepare for lunar surface missions. go.nasa.gov/3VJFEPg
๐๐ #SendYourName to the Moon aboard VIPER, the robotic rover that will explore the lunar South Pole. Like Gateway, VIPER will play a vital role in advancing our knowledge of the Moon and laying the groundwork for a sustained human presence there. go.nasa.gov/3S16kYf
Congratulations to the newest astronaut graduates! ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐๐ Theyโre now eligible for spaceflight, including future assignments to Gateway, the lunar outpost vital to the NASA Artemis missions back to the Moon. ๐๐
Gateway and the five sister programs of NASA Artemis gathered in Washington, D.C. this week with hundreds of industry partners to plan for future missions that will return humans to the Moon and chart the course for Mars and beyond. #Artemis #MoonToMars #Together
Congratulations Intuitive Machines! Instruments being delivered by Odysseus will help future crews living on Gateway explore the lunar surface!
NASA Artemis
UPDATE: The Intuitive Machines' lunar lander will orbit the Moon one additional time before landing on the surface.
Touchdown is now targeted for 6:24pm ET (2324 UTC). Our live coverage will begin at 5pm EST (2200 UTC). go.nasa.gov/49LQU1k
