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 @NASAAdmin: Interesting that you should mention that. Since I took over as Administrator, we put three Moon rocks on display in the lobby of NASA HQ. They are there now, and anyone can walk in and see them. We also brought Moon rocks to multiple public events, including America’s 250th birthday celebration on the National Mall and NASA fan engagement zones in Cleveland, New York, Pittsburgh, and Tuscaloosa. President Trump is the third president to have a Moon rock in the Oval Office. Presidents Clinton and Biden did as well, so you have your facts wrong. You should maybe try to put the obvious political bias aside for a second. If you love NASA, having a president who supports the space program and where we are going, the Moon, is a good thing. And, as inconvenient as it may be for you, the facts are that POTUS established the Artemis program, the Artemis Accords, and the Space Force, and has now provided the National Space Policy calling for a Moon Base.

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

RT @NASAAdmin: It was a great day at the White House with President Trump and the talented crew of Artemis III 🇺🇸 The Artemis III crew is led by Commander Randy Bresnik, Pilot Luca Parmitano, and Mission Specialists Andre Douglas and Frank Rubio with Bob Hines backing them up. It is clear @POTUS is the force behind a new era of American leadership in space. His policies include the Artemis program, the Artemis Accords, now signed by 78 nations, and the United States Space Force. Of course, the United States Space Academy is coming soon. With the resources provided to @NASA in the WFTCA, we were able to approach our return to the Moon the right way. We added the Artemis III mission and will now be able to establish humankind’s first outpost on another world, the Moon Base, with its first robotic mission just weeks away. We are rebuilding the workforce and core capabilities at NASA Centers, taking control of our destiny--we are building again. With SR-1 Freedom, we will finally get America underway on nuclear power in space, what should be the dawn of a Nuclear NASA. I am grateful every day to serve as NASA Administrator and to see the talent across our workforce, industry, and international partners changing the world. Together, we are leading the way on the greatest adventure in human history.

RT @NASAKennedy: Big move, bigger mission! The Artemis III Space Launch System core stage moved to the transfer aisle at NASA Kennedy. Next up – teams will lift and integrate the massive 212-foot-rocket with the solid rocket boosters as we prepare for the next giant leap in lunar exploration.

RT @NASAAdmin: American leadership in space demands results. At @NASA, we measure success by the outcomes we deliver, not how fast we spend taxpayer dollars. We intend to make every dollar count.

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

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!

RT @NASAArtemis: 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 ⬇️

RT @NASAArtemis: To prepare for NASA’s Artemis IV mission to land astronauts on the lunar surface, SpaceX and Blue Origin have updated their concepts of operations for its landers. These landers — Starship and Blue Moon — have concepts of operations different from one another. More below ⬇️

RT @NASAAdmin: Apollo should never represent the upper limit of what @NASA can achieve. It should be a standard we continuously strive to exceed. We’re bringing that intensity, discipline, and engineering ownership back to this agency. Great nations do not remain great by being caretakers of history, but by continuously making history.

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!

RT @NASA_Marshall: .@NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman has named Stephen Cash as the new director of NASA Marshall. Having served for several decades at Marshall in key roles across major human spaceflight programs, Cash brings a deep experience to the agency and to our center’s missions. More:

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!

RT @NASAArtemis: Post-flight analysis confirms the Artemis II Orion heat shield performed as expected during its Mach 39 reentry, protecting the spacecraft and the astronauts aboard as they returned from the 694,481-mile journey around the Moon.

RT @NASAAdmin: Since Ignition, we’ve been working across @NASA and with our partners to accelerate Artemis and return Americans to the Moon in 2028. Next week, we’ll share major updates on that work, including how Artemis III is coming together and the next steps ahead for Artemis IV and beyond.

RT @NASADepAdmin: It was great to spend time with the team at the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex, one of three facilities around the world that keep us connected to spacecraft exploring our solar system. After the devastating wildfires earlier this year, I’m especially thankful for the dedication of this team and the Spanish emergency responders who helped protect the facility. This is an important partnership, and the work happening here is essential to what comes next in space exploration.

RT @NASAAdmin: If we are going to live and work on the Moon, build the Moon Base, and eventually journey to Mars, we have to master the technologies that make sustained operations possible. There is impressive work happening at the University of North Dakota on habitats, spacesuits, human performance, mobility, and autonomous systems that directly connects to those challenges. Today, @SenJohnHoeven, General Guetlein, and I saw that work firsthand, touring UND’s lunar and Mars analog habitat and spacesuit lab while meeting with the students and researchers working through the real challenges of how humans will live, move, and operate on other worlds. We also joined the UAS Summit to talk about how advances in autonomy and aviation are opening up new challenges and possibilities across both air and space. North Dakota is helping build the capabilities America will need for the missions ahead. Thank you to Senator Hoeven, General Guetlein, and everyone at @UofNorthDakota for the warm welcome and outstanding work.

RT @NASA: "We are entering a new Golden Age of American innovation and discovery." - @NASAAdmin We're launching two new science and technology initiatives to deepen scientific understanding and accelerate the innovation that will shape America’s future in space:

Another great stop on the NASA Inspiration Tour! 🚀 @NASAAdmin joined @SenJohnHoeven and Gen. Michael Guetlein at the University of North Dakota to talk with students about the future of American space exploration and see the impressive work underway right here in Grand Forks!

RT @NASADepAdmin: Wrapped up Day 3 at #IAC2026 with more great conversations with our international partners, supporting U.S. industry as they build partnerships around the world, and sharing where America is headed in space. It’s been a busy few days, and time well spent. We have ambitious goals and strong partners. Now it’s time to get to work.

RT @NASADepAdmin: The future of space exploration isn’t waiting. 🚀 At #IAC2026, @NASA shared what’s ahead: returning American astronauts to the Moon, building a sustained presence on the lunar surface, advancing science and discovery, and preparing for missions to Mars. The goals are ambitious, the work is underway, and there’s much more to come.

NASA’s mission reached across the planet and beyond this week 🚀 ❄️ Inspiration Tour heads to Alaska 🌎 NASA leads at IAC in Antalya 🧑‍🚀 Crew-12 returns home 🌕 Artemis II science data released Here’s what's new in your NASA Minute!

RT @WhiteHouse: America will establish a permanent presence on the moon. 🚀🌕
