Mary W. Jackson, one of our Hidden Figures who helped us succeed in getting @NASA_Astronauts into space, will be honored during a ceremony featuring poet Nikki Giovanni, journalist @AbbyDPhillip, historian @HenryLouisGates & many others. Watch at 1pm ET:
The historic NASA insignia nicknamed the "meatball" and ESA logo have been added to the #Artemis I spacecraft adapter jettison fairing panels. When the SLS rocket launches with @NASA_Orion for Artemis I, the panels will protect the service module. MORE >>
Testing spaceflight hardware here on Earth before any mission is vital for success. For @NASAPersevere, its test campaign at @NASA_Wallops was especially important for the deployment of its supersonic parachutes.

I’m taking it all in. This is the first 360º view of my home using Mastcam-Z. This dual, high-definition camera system sits atop my mast and has zoom capability. Inspect tiny details of Jezero Crater with the special interactive viewer at #CountdownToMars
The four RS-25 engines on SLS produce more than 2 million pounds of thrust during launch and flight.
Meet Johnny Heflin, who oversees a team that develops and tests the RS-25 and RL10 engines that will send astronauts to the Moon through @NASAArtemis >>
Deep space exploration begins on American factory floors.
The launch of #Artemis I will bring together the world’s most powerful rocket @NASA_SLS and the @NASA_Orion capsule to prepare us to land the first woman and the next man on the lunar surface:
We're fascinated by deep space, but if you ask @NASA_Astronauts, they'll tell you: By going to the @Space_Station or the Moon, we rediscover Earth along the way. LISTEN to learn more of an astronaut's view of Earth in this podcast episode >>
