NASA Artemis

We are going for all of humanity.

Rolling down the rails🚂

Eight booster motor segments for @NASAArtemis III are on their way from Utah to @NASAKennedy, hauled by Union Pacific’s new locomotive honoring America’s 250th anniversary.

The SLS boosters will provide 75% of the thrust at launch.

One week to go! 🚀

@NASA will announce the Artemis III crew on June 9 at 11am ET (1500 UTC). Get ready to meet the four astronauts who will help advance the technologies needed to return humans to the Moon.

Great reason to put down devices, go outside, and be FULLy present.

Future @NASAMoonBase engineers in action!

During NASA’s 2026 Lunabotics Challenge, college students from across the country engineered autonomous robots to excavate and move lunar soil simulant – and the results were incredible.

The near impossible is becoming possible.

We are building toward a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. It begins with Phase 1: CLPS landers and LTV rovers testing the “science of survival” on the lunar surface before heavy HLS cargo landers deliver the mass and infrastructure needed for an enduring presence.

We are building the Moon Base for all we will learn, the innovation that will improve life on Earth, the inspiration for the next generation of explorers, and to master the skills needed for where we will inevitably go next...Mars.

The Golden Age of lunar exploration has begun.

On Tuesday, June 9, we’ll announce the four astronauts who will orbit Earth aboard the @NASAArtemis III mission!

Watch our live event at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) to find out who will test the docking capabilities necessary for crewed Moon landings: https://t.co/TyU7StKGxH

@NASAMoonBase @blueorigin @NASAAdmin The second @NASAMoonBase mission will fly cargo to the lunar surface aboard the @Astrobotic Griffin lander and the third will deliver payloads chosen through open competition as well as international partners.

Both missions are targeted to launch before the end of 2026.

[NASA @NASA]

@NASAMoonBase The first of three @NASAMoonBase missions will be the @BlueOrigin Mark I Endurance lander, set to launch NET Fall 2026.

@NASAAdmin Isaacman describes how this mission will send scientific payloads to the lunar South Pole region and reduce risk for future astronaut explorers.

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

65 years ago today President John F. Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress. Among his "Urgent National Needs"— achievement in space.

With the Space Race in full swing, he said, "while we cannot guarantee that we shall one day be first, we can guarantee that any failure to make this effort will make us last."

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the people that gave their lives for our country. To those who put our nation before themselves, and to their family and friends left behind, we honor your sacrifice.

So close

Astronauts Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan flew the Apollo 10 Lunar Module "Snoopy" to within 9 miles (14.4 km) of the lunar surface OTD in 1969, completing a critical test of all the systems and procedures needed for the Apollo 11 lunar landing. In this photo we see Maskelyne crater, located 250 km away from "Tranquility Base," the Apollo 11 landing site.

After maneuvering to the lower altitude and returning to dock with the "Charlie Brown" Command Module, Snoopy was jettisoned into an orbit around the Sun, unlike the other Apollo lunar module ascent stages. In 2019, a team of astronomers who analyzed terabytes of radar data reported they were 98% certain they found Snoopy.

What happens after four months in a simulated Mars mission?

On this week’s #HWHAP, the CHAPEA 2 crew checks in from inside their simulated Mars habitat with updates on mission life, holidays, downtime, and the latest band news. We also hear from NASA experts on how CHAPEA simulates Mars spacewalks on Earth. https://t.co/nHlLqpWb4H
