Who would you take with you on a trip around the Moon?

As we prepare to send our Artemis II astronauts around the Moon, we’d love to know who’s on your dream team. Use the hashtag #NASAMoonCrew and we may share yours during the launch broadcast: https://t.co/2cTxQZwOYf

1.5 million names are flying around the Moon on Artemis II. Is yours one of them?

It's not too late to add your name to the mission—and it's absolutely free: https://t.co/tUAM7BTfjt

Your name goes here!

We’re collecting names to fly around the Moon. 3.4 million of you joined us for Artemis I. How many of you would like to come along with the Artemis II mission? https://t.co/vyLCuDWQtq

What’s it like inside the spacecraft that will take astronauts to the Moon?

Jason Hutt, Orion Systems Engineering & Integration Manager at @NASA_Johnson, takes us inside a mockup of the Orion spacecraft that will carry crew to the Moon on the @NASAArtemis II mission.

Rocket? Stacking. Crew training? Underway. Mission patch? Ready to go. ✅

The Artemis II mission will embark on its journey around the Moon early 2026 — and now we’ve got the mission patch to mark the occasion.

Calling all makers, artists, and designers!

You could design the zero gravity indicator for the @NASAArtemis II mission to the Moon. This small plushie indicates when the @NASA_Orion spacecraft has reached space. Submit your design here: https://t.co/e9jAyjoR0X

Here they are. These bits of ancient space rock may hold clues to how the rocky planets—including our own—formed. Scientists worldwide will study the #OSIRISREx sample for generations to come to get answers on where we come from.

Looking forward to watching this launch in June!

[NASA @NASA]

Our next @SpaceX cargo launch, carrying supplies and a new set of unrolling solar panels to the @Space_Station, is now scheduled to lift off from @NASAKennedy on Saturday, June 3. Media accreditation is open: https://t.co/xbkHfWc98B
