    Artemis III is coming together, piece by piece. The second of four RS-25 rocket engines was recently offloaded at @NASAKennedy. These rocket engines will power the Space Launch System rocket during the launch of Artemis III, propelling the Orion spacecraft into Earth orbit.

    What do the nations of Group D in the 2026 FIFA World Cup have in common? We're all going to the Moon. Paraguay and Australia are both Artemis Accords signatories, and Australia has played a role in missions from Apollo to Artemis. Türkiye also has lunar exploration plans

    Tomorrow, June 25, NASA and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) leadership will discuss an upcoming spacewalk to repair the Canadarm2. What questions do you have about the spacewalk? Let us know below, then tune in tomorrow at 2 pm ET on plus.nasa.gov for the chance to hear it
     (Jan. 30, 2025) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 72 Commander Suni Williams is attached to the Canadarm2 robotic arm's latching end effector while being maneuvered to her worksite 264 miles above the South Pacific Ocean. Williams removed and stowed a radio frequency group antenna assembly during the five-hour and 26-minute spacewalk outside the International Space Station.

    Summer looks good on Earth! 🏖️ From 250 miles up aboard the International @Space_Station, summer looks a little different. Shifting ocean colors, sunlit cloud tops, and the glow of the horizon show off the dynamic systems that shape our planet. Where is summer taking you?
