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.

There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.

[Axiom Space @Axiom_Space]

We are broadening our collaboration with German industry with the signing a new Letter of Intent with OHB. This could develop payload opportunities for German researchers and industry that harness the power of microgravity. Our recent Microgravity Workshop in Munich led by Axiom Space's Chief Science Officer Dr. Lucie Low, demonstrated our commitment to expanding partnerships with German industry, utilizing our expertise to create new avenues for collaboration. #ForScience

We’re excited for Falcon Heavy to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as early as this August from pad 39A in Florida

[NASA @NASA]

Since arriving at its destination five years ago, our Perseverance Mars rover has collected data that hints at a history of past life on the Red Planet.

[AstroForge @AstroForge]

We built the spacecraft.

Last month, the major flight hardware of DeepSpace-2 came together on our integration floor for the first time.

This vehicle is headed millions of miles into deep space later this year to rendezvous with and image a near-Earth asteroid.

[Lunar Outpost @LunarOutpostInc]

The Moon's South Pole is one of the coldest, harshest places in our solar system. Lunar Outpost's Pegasus LTV is built to go there.

Built to operate through 500ºF temperature swings and tackle 20º slopes, Lunar Outpost's rovers will prospect and eventually extract resources at scale in these regions, including Water Ice and critical volatiles. Our robotic workforce unlocks the resources that will be crucial to enabling a truly sustainable human presence on the Moon.

Reflecting on the past, ready for the future ✨

@NASARoman engineers took one last look at the telescope's primary mirror, ensuring the observatory is ready to explore the universe.

Next up? Packing Roman up and shipping to @NASAKennedy for launch!

[ULA @ulalaunch]

The first low Earth orbit (LEO)-optimized Centaur upper stage is now integrated atop the Vulcan rocket at ULA's @AmazonLeo Integration Facility!

Integrating the vehicle with the new LEO 85K Centaur upper stage allows the team to perform first time procedures, validate stage and ground support equipment interfaces with a planned Wet Dress Rehearsal to validate new technologies in advance of the first Vulcan Leo mission.

Teams at NASA Kennedy built a mobile wastewater treatment system to help future astronauts live and work on the Moon. The trailer-sized unit turns crew wastewater into usable resources.

[NASA's Kennedy Space Center @NASAKennedy]

The system is headed to the University of North Dakota, where teams will test it in a habitat-like environment. Details: https://t.co/PWxIntUQFL

[Axiom Space @Axiom_Space]

Today, we are excited to announce the establishment of Axiom Space Switzerland, a wholly owned subsidiary based in Lucerne that will deepen our operational presence and long-term commitment in the region. Axiom Space Switzerland will strengthen the company’s engagement within Europe, expanding space collaboration for the entire space ecosystem. #BuildingOpportunity https://t.co/2XPv8Kf6ZV

[Jack Kuhr @JackKuhr]

Axiom CEO Jonathan Cirtain on the projected annual operating costs for its commercial space station.

"Our space vehicle, once operational, is like 10 people to operate it. Plus, maybe a similar complement to be scheduling time for astronauts and doing all the logistics management and whatever else."
