International collaboration is an essential part of our exploration plans! I’m proud of what NASA and our international partners are achieving in space.

Dr. Lori Glaze, ESDMD’s acting DAA, and I get a VR tour of International Space Station and a taste of astronaut life at European Space Agency European Astronaut Centre. All part of building international collaboration in support of ARCHIVED: Gateway Lunar Space Station and NASA Artemis!

Thank you to @ESA, JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) / MEXT, Canadian Space Agency, MBR Space Centre and Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur for last week's forward-looking discussions in Cologne about ARCHIVED: Gateway Lunar Space Station & NASA Artemis. NASA and its international partners are preparing to return to the Moon, and then to Mars and beyond!

I am delighted to welcome the Dominican Republic as the 44th Artemis Accords Signatory. The Artemis Accords are intended not only to expand civil space exploration but to enhance the vision for peaceful space cooperation among nations. go.nasa.gov/40eBNfl

As NASA progresses to longer-duration NASA Artemis missions, lunar logistics services will ensure astronauts have everything they need to live on the lunar surface. We’re asking U.S. industry for proposals that meet these architecture needs. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4gZuttC

Congratulations to SpaceX on the successful 5th test flight, booster catch, and splashdown of Starship! This is an inspiring milestone as NASA and its international and industry partners prepare for our return to the Moon and the journey to Mars.

Welcome Estonia as the 45th signatory to the #Artemis Accords -- a growing family of nations united for the peaceful exploration of deep space.

Congratulations to the Republic of Cyprus on becoming the 46th nation to sign the #Artemis Accords! Together we share a commitment to the safe, transparent, and responsible exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Damos la bienvenida a Chile como la nación número 47 en firmar los Acuerdos de Artemisa. Chile se suma a Estados Unidos y otros signatarios para apoyar la exploración segura y sostenible del espacio. #Artemis Accords #NASA_es tinyurl.com/4ek4s28w

Denmark has become the 48th nation to sign the #Artemis Accords, a growing coalition committed to building a safe, peaceful, and prosperous future in space. Welcome!

I'm pleased to announce Dr. Lori Glaze as the ESDMD Deputy Associate Administrator. Her leadership at NASA, project-management expertise, and science research background will greatly benefit NASA's #Artemis campaign and Moon to Mars human exploration efforts.

Congratulations on Starship's sixth test flight! Working with SpaceX and all our industry partners, NASA's #Artemis campaign is building the capability to return humans to the surface of the Moon.

The community of nations that have joined together for the peaceful exploration of space through the #Artemis Accords has grown by two. Today NASA welcomes Panama and Austria as our newest signatories. nasa.gov/news-release/a…

Last week on behalf of NASA, I was honored to assume the role as chair of the International Space Exploration Coordination Group from @ESA's Daniel Neuenschwander. As we prepare to return humans to the Moon and beyond via NASA Artemis, international collaboration rings true!

Released today: NASA's 2024 Architecture update, which helps inform NASA's long-term deep space exploration. Access new white papers, an overview of the Moon to Mars Architecture, and the latest revision of our Architecture Definition Document at nasa.gov/architecture

The community of nations united in the quest for knowledge through the NASA Artemis Accords has grown with Thailand becoming the 51st signatory today. Welcome!

This week, America’s super heavy lift capability for deep space exploration saw a successful first launch of @BlueOrigin New Glenn rocket & second successful booster catch of SpaceX Starship. While challenges remain, every test flight is one step closer to the Moon & Mars.

Congrats to Firefly Aerospace on its successful launch this week to set the Blue Ghost lander on its way to the Moon. The 10 NASA payloads will study the Moon’s environment ahead of NASA Artemis missions, and six are already sending initial data back to Earth while in transit.

Thanks to MEXT and JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) for hosting the first meeting of the #NASAArtemis Pressurized Rover Management Board. This partnership, built upon years of fruitful collaboration, will help us to explore the Moon and prepare for missions to Mars.

I was honored to give opening remarks at this year's Moon to Mars Architecture Workshop in DC. Representatives from industry, academia, and NASA discussed our mutual commitment to exploration under NASA Artemis. Thanks to the Space Studies Board of National Academies for hosting us!
