Introducing Artemis III.
Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.
In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.
Coming soon: one of history’s most complex missions
Tune in on Tuesday, June 9, at 11am ET, to meet the astronauts flying aboard Artemis III, the mission that will test docking capabilities with commercial landers in low Earth orbit — an important step to crewed lunar landings.

One year ago today, Mon Mothma stood before the Imperial Senate and delivered one of Andor’s most powerful moments, openly defying Palpatine and the Empire.
The senators who jeered at her did not know it, but their institution had only two years left. As in A New Hope, Palpatine would dissolve the Senate entirely.
NASA HAS RELEASED OVER 12,000 IMAGES OF THE ARTEMIS II MISSION.
Unbelievable perspectives captured by the Crew! The aurora on the eclipse is incredible.
Nelson Mandela cast his vote in the first South African elections without racial discrimination #OTD in 1994. It was the first time Mandela had voted in his life, as under apartheid Black South Africans had no voting rights. Mandela received the 1993 peace prize.
I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and thank you for believing in me to lead the company that has always put you at the center of our work. This is not goodbye. It’s a hello to John and I can’t wait for you to get to know him like I do! 🙏
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
