Leaving Earth orbit, ✅. Next up: Finalizing the Moon observation plan. Artemis II is both a test flight and a science mission. Astronauts, flight controllers, & science teams are working together to squeeze as much knowledge as possible out of the crew’s lunar flyby. ⬇️ (1/6)

One of the many differences between Apollo and Artemis is that Orion uses solar panels and batteries, whereas the Command Module in 60s used fuel cells and batteries. Thanks for pointing out HOMEM DO ESPAÇO!

A fan created a visualization of how the spin drive works in Project Hail Mary. It’s a beautifully simple cycle. First, a small light tuned to the Petrova frequency attracts Astrophage from the fuel line, coating one side of a transparent triangular mechanism. Then the triangle

How do you keep organ chips “alive” in deep space? Custom equipment inside Orion automatically controls temperature and feeds the AVATAR organ chips throughout the Artemis II mission. Learn more about AVATAR: go.nasa.gov/4sWkqeA

Artemis II crew, we hear you loud and clear. Inside Mission Control, engineers like Ami Killeen in the Orion Mission Evaluation Room are keeping a close eye on Orion’s communication systems, keeping us seamlessly connected with the crew as they continue their journey toward the

Data, delivered at the speed of light. 💫 Orion’s Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O) downlinked more than 100 gigabytes of data using laser communications. The image below is just one of the many files transmitted. Learn more about O2O: go.nasa.gov/3O4FmRi

The Artemis II astronauts have seen the far side of the moon for the first time, says Christina Koch, speaking to NASA ground staff from the Orion capsule. trib.al/NAUoCdr 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

Please stop calling Hail Mary a "space Mazda". Yes, the spin drive looks like a Wankel engine. No, this is not helping the Petrova Taskforce PR.

The Artemis II crew is now more than halfway to the moon, after they blasted off on the historic mission Wednesday. The crew described what it was like seeing different angles of Earth from space.

There are no words.

Artemis II just hit the "two thirds" mark of the journey to the Moon. During Flight Day 4, the astronauts aboard Orion went over plans to study the Moon during their upcoming lunar flyby and are currently practicing manually controlling the spacecraft.

The Orion spacecraft has a couple of backseat drivers.

Astronaut Jeremy Hansen shared some words of advice for the younger generation watching the Artemis II crew on their historic mission around the moon. "Humanity needs those contributions," he said. "So just get after it."

As the lunar flyby day approaches (April 6), the crew are starting to make some early lunar observations. Hear from Artemis 2 Commander Reid Wiseman below. Watch live Orion and MCC Houston views: youtube.com/live/M8m9YdxgJ…

Don't worry: space has mac and cheese. Food aboard Orion must be easy to prepare and consume in microgravity, minimize crumbs, and remain safe and stable throughout the mission. The crew provided input well before the meals were packed for the test flight.
