Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson

Serving President Donald J. Trump as the 16th @NASA Deputy Administrator | Working alongside @NASAAdmin to lead the next Golden Age of space discovery 🚀

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

NASA’s next chapter will be written by talented people willing to take on hard problems and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Excited to welcome our newest class of interns. Among this group are future engineers, scientists, leaders, and explorers who will help shape lunar exploration, scientific discovery, aviation, and the journey to Mars.

Welcome to NASA.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.

Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.

There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.

We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.

@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.

America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

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.

Congrats @SpaceX team and @elonmusk on a hell of a V3 Starship launch. One step closer to the Moon…one step closer to Mars 🇺🇸

[Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson @NASADepAdmin]

Not a bad way to spend day two on the job.

Thanks for the flight, @NASAAdmin, and best of luck to @SpaceX on Starship Flight 12!

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

Today, we are announcing an initiative to put NASA’s mission first and resource the objectives that matter most.

We are organizing, planning, and investing in the talent and Centers to achieve the world-changing objectives only NASA is capable of accomplishing.

[Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson @NASADepAdmin]

Honored to be sworn in today as @NASA Deputy Administrator. I’m grateful to @POTUS for the opportunity to serve alongside @NASAAdmin and the incredible NASA workforce to strengthen America’s leadership in space and lead the next era of exploration and discovery 🇺🇸
