[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Planetary defense is a pressing challenge in space. Here's how Blue Ring is solving it. We developed NEO (Near-Earth Objects) Hunter, a mission concept that tests ion-beam deflection and direct kinetic impact techniques, leveraging Blue Ring's unique ability to maneuver, host, and deploy payloads across deep space.

Orion's main parachute has deployed. The spacecraft has a system of 11 chutes that will slow it down from around 300 mph to 20 mph for splashdown.

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

[MultiPlanet University @MultiPlanetUni]

@blueorigin Excellent, we hope to see more on RCS Aux Thrust Ground tests or Landing Gear Pad precision landing too

RIP to the $350M European Service Module (ESM) 🛰️and 7,000kg of Propellant @esa @NASA @NASAArtemis @esaoperations

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Orion’s crew and service module have separated. The crew module continues on its path towards Earth while the service module will harmlessly burn up in Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The Artemis II return trajectory is designed to ensure any remaining debris does not pose a hazard to land, people, or shipping lanes.

Artemis 2: The Orion capsule has separated from its European Service Module and is repositioning for entry.
Just, WOW. @spacedotcom

[Jonathan McDowell @planet4589]

Three of the four Artemis-II cubesats have now been cataloged; orbits are 149 x 70247 km, 492 x 70228 km, and 61 x 70276 km. Suggests at least one made a successful perigee raising burn, but waiting for more data before drawing too many conclusions.

[NASA @NASA]

Action. Wonder. Adventure. Artemis II has got it all. Don't miss the moment. Our crewed Moon mission will launch as early as April 1.

Can you see our Moon rocket lift off from your backyard?

Skywatchers in Florida and southern Georgia will have a shot. Check out this map to see when you should look up! Artemis II is targeted to launch no earlier than April 1.

Brisket and cobbler and quiche, oh my!
