Congratulations to Artemis II on a successful mission! You captured the wonders of space and our planet beautifully, taking iPhone photography to new heights, and we’re grateful you shared it with the world. Your work continues to inspire us all to think different. Welcome home!
Nominal translunar injection burn complete. The Artemis II crew is officially on the way to the Moon.
America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon. This time, farther than ever before.
On their first apogee, nearly 44,000 miles from Earth, the Artemis II crew is getting a look at home unseen in 53 years. Here's Christina Koch describing her view of sunset in India a few minutes ago.
Fist bump, Rise!
Very emotional moment zipping up Rise, knowing we are bringing 5,647,889 names with us on this journey around the Moon. For all!
People from around the world submitted their names through the Send Your Name with Artemis campaign.
These names were downloaded onto an SD card that is safely stored inside "Rise," the zero gravity indicator designed by 2nd grader Lucas Ye from California. Thanks for coming along, everyone!
We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.
We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team
A 1400 mile swath of ice developing over the last 24 hours, and the heaviest of it is in north-northeastern Mississippi. Several readings of 2-2.5". A catastrophic ice storm, and a long road ahead.
Grateful to President Trump for enacting an inspiring National Space Policy and to Congress for the resources and support to see it through. I am extremely proud of the @NASA team working through the holidays, advancing the Artemis II launch campaign, supporting our astronauts aboard the space station, monitoring flagship science missions, and preparing for an exciting year of discovery ahead. I have enjoyed seeing the year-end videos, an impressive 2025 for our commercial and international partners. I am thankful for the investments and progress @BlueOrigin and @SpaceX have demonstrated in heavy-lift reusability, a necessary capability for returning American astronauts to the Moon and exploring the worlds beyond ours. I also want to recognize the broader commercial space market making real strides toward an orbital and lunar economy, and our partnerships with industry and academia on better, lower-cost approaches to science through missions like ESCAPADE. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year as the greatest adventure continues.
