Last call for your personable plushies and creative creatures! We’re in the remaining hours to submit your Moon Mascot design. If you haven’t submitted yet, what are you waiting for? Your design could fly around the Moon with the Artemis II crew! freelancer.com/moon-mascot

Another busy week for the Artemis II crew. All four members have been training in simulations that replicate various stages of the Artemis II mission, including ascent and re-entry. The @DeptOfDefense also practiced rescue operations for an ascent abort scenario.

This just in: NASA and DLR - English will partner to fly new radiation sensors aboard the 10-day Artemis II mission to the Moon and back. The test flight will be the first with crew under NASA Artemis. This collaboration supports our research to safeguard the health of astronauts as

#OTD 16 years ago, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter launched to the Moon. Since then, it has created a 3D map of the entire Moon, detected deposits of water ice, and is paving the way for future lunar exploration with #Artemis. More about the Moon: go.nasa.gov/4lbTrr2

When astronauts land at the South Pole of the Moon during the Artemis III mission, they will experience very different lighting from what Apollo astronauts experienced. NASA Marshall teams are replicating these extreme lighting conditions. go.nasa.gov/4jXr66T

Another busy week for the Artemis II crew. The crew practiced simulations inside of the mockup of the Orion spacecraft, met with the lunar geology team, and brought their kids to work to learn more about the day-to-day life of an Artemis astronaut!

We're deciphering how the human body reacts to long missions in space. A comprehensive suite of 14 experiments is looking closely at astronauts' bones, joints, hearts, and brain function when they spend time on the International Space Station. Learn more about the CIPHER study:

“No constraints and go for launch.” What every launch team strives for. The Artemis II astronauts recently joined the Artemis launch team to practice a variety of launch-day scenarios. This is one of dozens of countdown simulations the launch team has practiced so far.

Why do we grow plants in space? 🧑‍🌾 Space-grown veggies & fruits not only provide nutrition, but also give crew far from Earth a little slice of home. Learn how NASA is cultivating space gardening as a tool to support future long-duration missions: go.nasa.gov/44y8uG0

POV: You’re a pararescueman jumping out of a C-17 🪂✈️ Watch this footage from a @USAirForce pararescuman during Artemis rescue demonstrations earlier this month. NASA and the Department of Defense 🇺🇸 rehearse these operations to prepare for an unlikely pad abort or ascent abort.

Caption this. NASA astronauts Kate Rubins and Andre Douglas got some ground support while performing a simulated moonwalk in preparation for Artemis III, which will mark the first time humans explore the lunar South Pole region.

🚀 From Apollo to Artemis: Space runs in Patrick Junen’s family. For some, a passion for space develops over time. For Junen, it was practically written in the stars. With both his father and grandfather working for NASA, space wasn’t just a dream — it was the family business.

What makes sending humans to Mars so difficult? On this week’s #HWHAP, NASA astronaut Stan Love discusses the challenges of deep space missions and what it will take to get humans to the Red Planet. go.nasa.gov/44nhaha

Fueling the future! ⛽ This past week, 12 university teams presented their solutions to cryogenic fluid challenges critical for Artemis missions as part of NASA’s Human Lander Challenge final competition. Congratulations to the winning teams! go.nasa.gov/4k6Yl7L

Going to the Moon requires stellar communications support. During the Artemis II mission, NASA will demonstrate laser communications capabilities with the ourANU team in Australia. Learn more about laser communications, the demo, and our partnership: go.nasa.gov/3TjXjKL

In addition to running ascent simulations with mission control, the Artemis II crew spent a lot of time in the classroom this week learning all about propulsion anomalies with flight operation experts. Enjoy the view!

Congratulations to #NASAMarshall's John Blevins, chief engineer for the SLS rocket, for being selected as a 2025 Service to America Medals honoree! 👏 Read more about Blevins and our other honoree from NASA Goddard, Richard Burns >> go.nasa.gov/3GqCZoc

From coast to coast, thousands of suppliers across the United States are playing a vital role in the Artemis campaign. Learn more about how each of them is bringing us closer to returning humans to the Moon–and exploring beyond: nasa.gov/artemis-partne…

Happiest of birthdays to Apollo 17 moonwalker Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, who turns 90 today! 🥳 60 years ago, Schmitt was announced as one of NASA's fourth group of astronaut candidates: "The Scientists." Schmitt's geology expertise combined with the unique features of the

From the Artemis team, happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate!
