Getting geared up for NASA Artemis missions! 🤜🤛

NASA astronauts Kate Rubins and Andre Douglas are simulating moonwalks in a volcanic field this week, testing tech like augmented reality displays and prepping for future lunar South Pole missions. More →

THIS AIN'T TEXAS 🎵🤠...

Oh wait. Actually it is!

Practice makes perfect🌙

To prepare for exploring the Moon during NASA Artemis's campaign, the agency is conducting a week-long field test in the lunar-like landscape of San Francisco Volcanic Field near Flagstaff, Arizona to practice moonwalk scenarios. go.nasa.gov/4agAOMQ

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility drive success for our current and future workforce at NASA.

Join us this #AANPHI Heritage Month as we honor our AA and NHPI NASA Johnson and Marshall Space Flight Center team members through their stories and contributions to the

Feeling hungry? 🍕

Dining space is a bit different than dining on Earth. Astronauts need liquidy salt, recycled water, and foods that leave no crumbs. Learn why from a NASA food scientist, via NASA STEM: go.nasa.gov/3ylEaB0

VIPER will be tested.

From simulating the vibrational “rock concert” experience of launch, to replicating the hottest and coldest temperatures on the Moon, learn how our VIPER rover team is getting ready for stress-testing: go.nasa.gov/3QJoayW

New target launch date: May 21, no earlier than 4:43pm.

Congratulations to the class of 2024! 🎉🎓

You've accomplished so much and now it's time for your next chapter. As a graduation gift, recent astronaut graduates share their advice and encouragement for all of you taking off on your next big adventures.

Dr. Anna Fisher became the first mom to go to space when she flew on STS-51A 40 years ago this November. In her 2009 oral history she describes being informed of her flight assignment two weeks before having her baby. Read the interview: go.nasa.gov/3JQLsPI #MothersDay

See you in 45 days! 👋

A four-person volunteer crew entered JSC's HERA habitat yesterday to simulate living & working like astronauts on a mission to Mars. Their work will help NASA study how isolation & confinement may affect astronauts on deep-space journeys.

Bon voyage,

Small but mighty!

Make some space for the #Artemis II crew!
Orion’s seats are designed to be folded and stowed to make more room for our crew as they fly to the Moon. The Artemis II crew recently practiced procedures to stow their seats during training at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Science takes a village!

NASA engineers, managers, and flight directors experienced Geology 101 field training in the desert of northern Arizona, giving them a better understanding of what astronauts and scientists will contend with during Artemis missions. Read more:
