MAX POWER, America’s newest aerospace expo and air show, is just a week away! This showcase will be packed with events—from aircraft flyovers to a chance to meet NASA astronauts and experts. Here's what you can expect:

@csa_asc @Space_Station How large is the solar array that we are installing today? This type of solar array measures around 63 feet in length—only a little longer than a bowling lane.

After more than a year on a simulated Mars mission that will help us better prepare for future long-duration stays on the Moon and Mars, four crew members will "return" to Earth. Watch the crew exit live:

@csa_asc @Space_Station At just over two hours into today’s spacewalk, the solar array is out of its carrier and being delivered to its installation site.

RT @NASAWebb: Pspspsp! Just in time for Halloween, NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes recently stared at an eerie star-forming scene within the Carina Nebula, a massive gas and dust cloud located approximately 7,500 light-years away from Earth.

RT @NASASpox: Another week of building, flying, and looking ahead at @NASA 🚀 🌔 Artemis III core stage integrated 🛰️ New solar array installed on the ISS 🪐 Send your name to Titan aboard Dragonfly ✈️ MAX POWER heads to @NASAKennedy next week Here’s your NASA Minute!

RT @NASADepAdmin: Congratulations to Vietnam on the 78th signing the Artemis Accords! Vietnam joins a growing community of like-minded nations committed to transparency and responsible exploration. We look forward to working together as we expand opportunities for science and discovery on the Moon and beyond.

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Your name could fly on Saturn’s largest moon. NASA’s Dragonfly mission will launch in 2028 to explore the dunes, lakes, and rivers of Saturn’s moon, Titan, and your name can come along! Join the voyage and claim your boarding pass:

RT @Space_Station: .@Astro_Anil and @Astro_Kutryk completed a spacewalk at 3:08 p.m. EDT today after installing a roll-out solar array for power generation. They will conduct a final power upgrade spacewalk on Thursday, Nov. 5. More...

LIVE: NASA's Anil Menon and @csa_asc's Joshua Kutryk are setting up a new solar array outside the @Space_Station. Today's spacewalk is scheduled to start around 8am ET (1200 UTC) and run for about six and a half hours.

@csa_asc @Space_Station Solar array, roll out! At about four-and-a-half hours into today’s spacewalk, the solar array began deployment. It is now fully deployed.

RT @NASAAdmin: This is how @NASA does game day. Roll Tide! 🚀🏈

@csa_asc @Space_Station Mission accomplished! After installing a new solar array and preparing for the next spacewalk, Menon and Kutryk have returned to the Quest airlock as today’s spacewalk comes to an end. Be sure to follow @Space_Station for the latest updates from the orbiting lab!

RT @NASAAdmin: Roll Tide and full throttle! An incredible day in Tuscaloosa with @SecRollins, from signing a new agreement between @NASA and @USDA and meeting with students at @UofAlabama to flying over a packed Bryant-Denny Stadium ahead of Alabama vs. Texas A&M. The same spirit that takes us into the skies will take us back to the Moon and inspire the next generation to take us even farther.

RT @WhiteHouse: Welcome to the Oval Office, Artemis III Crew! 🇺🇸🚀

RT @NASASpox: NASA’s Inspiration Tour has landed in in the SEC 🚀🏈 Ahead of Alabama vs. Texas A&M, @NASAAdmin met with students and fans outside Bryant-Denny Stadium, joined @SecRollins to sign a new MOU between NASA and @USDA , and will soon take to the skies for today’s flyover!

What would it be like to live on Mars? The CHAPEA 2 crew share their final thoughts before their yearlong simulation mission ends on Houston We Have a Podcast:

We are not slowing down. 🚀 Our Artemis III mission will send four astronauts to low Earth orbit next year to test critical systems needed for future lunar landings and we’re accelerating efforts to ensure the success of Artemis IV, the first Artemis mission on the lunar surface

Are you stepping into a spacesuit this week? So are @astro_anil and @astro_kutryk — but not for Halloween! Tune in here on Oct. 29 at 6:30am ET (1030 UTC) to watch these two astronauts deploy a new solar array on the @Space_Station.

RT @NASASpox: NASA just shared some major updates on the road ahead for Artemis 🚀 2027: Artemis III tests Orion and two lunar landers in low Earth orbit. 2028: Artemis IV returns Americans to the Moon. Catch up on today's announcements in this special edition NASA Minute!

The @NASAWebb telescope recently spotted stars brewing in this cosmic cauldron. This region of toil and trouble, named N159, is 161,000 light-years from Earth, in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

LIVE: @NASAAdmin and agency leaders are sharing the latest updates on next year's Artemis III mission and our plans to return astronauts to the surface of the Moon by 2028.

RT @NASASpox: There was plenty to see across @NASA this week 🚀 🔴 Perseverance breaks a record on Mars 🛰️ Fresh cargo arrives at the ISS 🌌 CRS-35’s space jellyfish lights up the East Coast 🔥 New heat shield tech put to the test 🌔 Artemis III assembly advances Here’s your NASA Minute!

Have you put up your Halloween decor? The night sky will add the finishing touch. 🌕 October’s full moon, named the Hunter’s Moon, will rise on the night of Oct. 26. Its name comes from the seasonal practice of hunters relying on bright moonlight.

Ahh… blue lagoon 🏖️ This deep-blue sea of gas and dust—called Messier 8 or the Lagoon Nebula—is a hotbed of star formation. The young stars within the nebula emit rays of high-energy light, including X-rays shown in pink by @chandraxray.

"I just hear over and over again: 'I felt like I went on the mission with you'." Artemis II's Jeremy Hansen and Victor Glover reflect on their historic trip around the Moon — and how life on Earth has been since — in our latest Houston We Have A Podcast:

“It was the greatest adventure that four humans can ever go on.” Listen to Artemis II's Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman reflect on their historic, 10-day journey around the Moon in a recent episode of Houston We Have a Podcast:

RT @Nasdaq: 28.1 miles. A new off-world record on Mars. After more than 2,000 Martian days exploring Jezero Crater, @NASA’s Perseverance rover continues to show what’s possible when science, technology, and exploration come together. Congratulations @NASA and @NASAJPL. Here’s to pushing boundaries, on Earth and beyond.

RT @NASAArtemis: Ready for an Artemis update? Tune in Friday, Oct. 23, at 2 p.m. ET (1800 UTC) to hear our latest progress and accelerated plans for Artemis lunar missions. Watch live:

RT @NASAJohnson: 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.

LIVE: Tune in as agency leaders and partners discuss NASA's contributions to @JAXA_en's Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, scheduled to lift off on Monday, Oct. 19.

That's our jam 🎼 Astronomers used @ChandraXray to find out that this radio wave formation, known as the "Treble Clef" thanks to its distinctive shape, was likely caused by an outburst from a supermassive black hole, followed by a collision of two galaxy clusters.

LIVE: Get a preview of two upcoming spacewalks set for Oct. 29 and Nov. 5. @astro_anil and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk will use both spacewalks to finish installing solar arrays.

LIVE: Members of Crew-12 are at @NASAJohnson to discuss their mission aboard the @Space_Station and answer questions from the media. The crew spent 237 days living and working in orbit and returned to Earth on Thursday, Oct. 8.

RT @Space_Station: 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.

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.

@NASAMoonBase The journey is just beginning. See how NASA and our partners are getting @NASAMoonBase moving in the full video:
