Artemis III will be one of the most complex test missions in NASA history. Launching in 2027, Artemis III astronauts will practice rendezvous and docking with two commercial lunar landers designed to carry crew from the Orion spacecraft to the lunar surface. Details below ⬇️
The Moon is seen shining over the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft atop the mobile launcher on January 28, 2026. The sky is a dark blue gradient in the background. The core stage of the rocket is a burnt orange color. It is topped with the white Orion spacecraft and sandwiched between two white solid rocket boosters. The mobile launcher is a trussed structure that stands behind the rocket. The perspective of the image if from below the rocket looking upward. Credit: NASA/Brandon Hancock

It's the final countdown 🎶 We're one step closer to Roman's first images! The observatory is now fully functional and the team is performing their final checks and calibrations before starting science observations. go.nasa.gov/4A9menV

Planting the seeds for deep space exploration! 🌱🚀 Astronauts on the space station are continuing to test ways to grow fresh food in microgravity using plant pillows, advancing @NASAScience_ research on seed storage and crop growth capabilities for future exploration missions.

Join NASA’s Night Sky Network on Thursday, Oct. 22, at 5:00 p.m. PT (8:00 p.m. ET) for a livestream all about Roman! Learn about the telescope and how it will unveil the cosmos in ways never before possible. The event will also be recorded. Details: youtu.be/zH665HKta5E

Typhoon Champi over the Philippine Sea. 🌀 Its almost circular eye is surrounded by the eyewall, where the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall occur. Champi’s eye passed approximately 16–20 kilometres south of Guam’s southern tip on 17 October, before continuing across the western Pacific.

Morning launch views! 🚀 Here is the video I grabbed of the SpaceX Bandwagon-5 mission lifting off this morning. We only got a slight space jellyfish effect, but seeing those exhaust plumes catch the high-altitude light is still pretty cool every single time

#ICYMI: The booster's for NASA's Artemis III mission are officially stacked! Next up, the SLS core stage will be integrated with the boosters, completing the rocket’s “short stack” configuration that will be used during a future tanking test. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4BcsSLa
Engineers with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems complete integration of the aerodynamic nose cones onto the left and right forward segments on the twin SLS (Space Launch System) solid rocket boosters, finishing their stacking operations for Artemis III inside the Vehicle Assembly Building’s High Bay 3 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026. Each forward assembly contains an aerodynamic top, a forward skirt housing avionics, and frustum housing motors that allow the boosters to separate from the SLS core stage after launch. The twin solid boosters will help support the remaining rocket components and the Orion spacecraft during final assembly of the Artemis III rocket and provide more than 75 percent of the total SLS thrust during liftoff from NASA Kennedy’s Launch Pad 39B.

DYK that you’re moving at about 67,000 miles per hour right now?! Earth is carrying you on its orbit around the Sun. When Roman launched, it inherited that motion and will undergo a series of maneuvers before its final orbital insertion at L2. nasa.tumblr.com/post/8306413…

Look up, Houston! You might just see double. 👀 Thursday morning around 5:36 a.m. CDT, you could catch not one, but TWO spacecraft passing overhead! The International @Space_Station and @NASA’s @SpaceX CRS-35 cargo spacecraft will be visible in the Houston sky ahead of docking. Consider it a cosmic double feature before your morning coffee! ☕
The International Space Station is pictured from the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour during a fly around of the orbiting lab that took place following its undocking from the Harmony module’s space-facing port on Nov. 8, 2021. The orbital complex was flying over 250 miles above the Nile Delta in Egypt when this photograph was taken. Credit: NASA
