25 years ago, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris Hadfield became the first Canadian to perform a spacewalk. He helped install the Canadarm2 on the @Space_Station.

Today, we celebrate this historic moment for Canada’s space sector.

Voyager 1 has shut off another scientific instrument to keep power margins available. The Low Energy Charged Particle detector was observing ions, now the only powered instruments are the plasma wave and magnetic field instruments.

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

The launch team at @NASAKennedy are GO to begin filling the Artemis II rocket with fuel.

The official launch broadcast begins at 12:50pm ET (1650 UTC). Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC). Tanking coverage can be found here: https://t.co/VVJqQrRz4a
