[Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson]

The best place to work in the federal government 12 years in a row—what an honor!

NASA does great work because of the wizards who work here: public servants who lead in space, in the skies, and on Earth to benefit all.

They make the impossible, possible. https://t.co/odLmIEIjuT

[Jim Free @JimFree]

Three more @NASA astronauts launch to @space_station early Friday to continue important @ISS_Research, science, and tech only possible in microgravity.

Congrats @Int_Machines and thank you for taking us to the Moon's south pole! Artemis is a team effort, and six @NASAScienceAA and @NASA_Technology demonstrations are helping lead the way for the arrival of our astronauts on Artemis III to the same area later this decade.

[NASA @NASA]

For the first time since the Apollo era, new NASA science instruments and tech demonstrations are operating on the Moon after @Int_Machines' Odysseus lander arrived on the lunar surface: https://t.co/l1VaQujvOZ

The IM-1 mission team expects to receive images in the coming days.

Congrats to the entire PACE and launch teams! This mission is a critically important part of NASA's Earth observations.

[NASA @NASA]

Today we put the PACE in space! The newest @NASAEarth observing satellite launched on Feb. 8 at 1:33am ET (0633 UTC).

It will study ocean health, air quality and climate change: https://t.co/M1fpG96JVX

[Jim Free @JimFree]

Congrats, Joseph! We have such a great team at @NASAMarshall whose work touches just about every mission NASA pursues.

[Pamela Melroy @Astro_Pam]

Congratulations to Joseph Pelfrey on being named the new Center Director of @NASA_Marshall! Your leadership will undoubtedly propel Marshall to new heights as you lead the center into the future. Here's to a stellar journey under your guidance!

[Jim Free @JimFree]

Excited to join the @NASAEarth team for launch Feb. 6 at 1:33 am EST of our Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission. It will help us understand ocean life, clouds, pollutants in our atmosphere, and a changing climate.

As we push forward with #Artemis missions to the Moon and continue @Space_Station missions, #NASARemembers those who paved the way.

I was honored to join @SenBillNelson, @Astro_Pam, NASA colleagues, family, and friends today in observance of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia.

[Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson]

Go Ax-3! Congratulations to @Axiom_Space and @SpaceX on a successful launch! This mission shows the power of American innovation and ingenuity.

Together, with our international and commercial partners, @NASA will further our reach in the cosmos for the benefit of all humanity.

[Jim Free @JimFree]

I’ve worked side by side with Dr. Vogel as we’ve developed our Moon to Mars exploration approach. He was instrumental in getting the objectives off the ground. I know he’ll bring that same spirit and expertise to @NASA_Technology - congratulations, Spuds!

[Pamela Melroy @Astro_Pam]

Thrilled to announce Dr. Kurt "Spuds" Vogel as the new @NASA Associate Administrator for @NASA_Technology! His expertise and leadership will propel us into the next frontier of space exploration and technology. https://t.co/T8NT72Erzx

[Jim Free @JimFree]

Unveiling @NASAaero's X-59 experimental supersonic aircraft was a great start in my new role as Associate Administrator!

Thank you to the brilliant minds at @NASA and @LockheedMartin who persevered to make it a reality; I look forward to first flight.

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy holiday season and a stellar New Year! Grateful for the support of our @NASA team this year and excited for the challenges ahead. Here's to achieving new heights in the coming year! 🚀

[Jim Free @JimFree]

Safety is always our top priority. @NASA's commitment to precision and thorough protocols makes sure we keep our astronauts safe and meet our mission goals. Great to see the crew getting hands on!

[NASA's Johnson Space Center @NASAJohnson]

Sliding into the holidays like…

Recently, the Artemis II crew practiced how to safely get themselves out of @NASA_Orion post-splashdown, should there be an emergency reason they need to leave the capsule prior to the recovery team arriving.

[Jim Free @JimFree]

Get ready for a trip down memory lane as @NASA leaders and I take a moment to reflect on our unforgettable experiences at NASA and what led us to pursue careers in STEM. https://t.co/YGvxK1EPJX
