Some moments are worth floating back to. ✨ When @NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-13 launched on Oct. 1, they brought along a little extra company! 🚀 Meet Lucky, a hand-crocheted golden dragon and the crew’s zero-gravity indicator! These small companions float freely once a spacecraft reaches microgravity, giving astronauts a visual sign that they’re officially weightless.

There's a lot of ground to cover when you're building a Moon Base. During the first phase of @NASAMoonBase development, robotic rovers will gather new details about the lunar South Pole region, while lunar terrain vehicles will extend the reach of each Artemis mission.

Welcome to the Artemis Accords, Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan has joined 76 other nations around the world by committing to the peaceful and safe exploration of space. go.nasa.gov/4hWoI2z
Secretary Marco Rubio and Uzbekistan Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov smile at the camera against a background of American and Uzbekistan flags. They are both wearing suits and ties. They appear to be shaking hands while also holding up a folder. There is an arrangement of flowers on the table in front of them.
