Team members successfully retrieved the LOFTID heat shield from the Pacific Ocean Thursday am.With the heat shield on board, the recovery vessel will next head to retrieve LOFTID’s ejectable data module.

[NASA X @NASAXrocks]

LOFTID located in the Pacific Ocean 500 miles off the coast of Hawaii. Congratulations! Upon reentry, LOFTID faced temperatures that reached 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit and hit speeds of nearly 18,000 miles per hour.

[NASA X @NASAXrocks]

Successful LOFTID deployment and splashdown!

[NASA @NASA]

LIFTOFF! The final @ULALaunch Atlas V rocket to soar from @SLDelta30 is on its way to deliver two separate missions to Earth orbit: #JPSS2 and #LOFTID.

Launch of Atlas V with LOFTID onboard!

Artemis on hold. The engine will be fixed, and Artemis will fly. Churchill said:
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” Indeed, it is courage that defines NASA and its dedication to exploration and discovery.

Artemis 1 FYI:
A full-size dummy in an orange flight suit is going to occupy the commander’s seat for this flight, rigged with vibration and acceleration sensors.
Two other mannequins made of material simulating human tissue will measure cosmic radiation.

[NASA X @NASAXrocks]

With 8.8 million pounds of thrust, the most powerful space rocket ever will soon launch from Cape Canaveral.
Artemis 1, comprising Orion, a six-person capsule, atop a 322ft, 2,875-ton Space Launch System megarocket, is scheduled for its maiden liftoff at 8.33am ET tomorrow.

Our latest program is live! Look for it on iTunes and Hulu shortly.
NASA’s ATD-2 or Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 project helps isolate the best times for departing flights to push back from the gate saving time and money.

Remembering the crew of STS-107.

On February 1, 2003, the crew was lost when Columbia broke apart during re-entry. Astronauts David Brown, Rick Husband, Laurel Clark, Kalpana Chawla, Michael Anderson, William McCool, and Ilan Ramon were on board.

We've spent the year traveling and telling the stories that make NASA great. From early morning desert sunrises to airplane hangars, flying in simulators, to standing on the wings of X-planes we love the experience of producing our program. Have a wonderful new year!
