Student interest in human spaceflight inspires me every day. Recently, nine K-12 students who creatively envisioned lunar exploration in NASA's Moon Pod Essay Contest went to @NASA_Johnson to learn about where we are now and where we are going. Bright minds in these pictures!

Congratulations to the @NASA and partner teams on a successful launch of CAPSTONE yesterday! This is an important pathfinder mission for future #Artemis crews who will journey to the Moon, and a great example of how partnerships allow us to go farther.

Valuable, crew-tended research aboard the @space_station is shelved on EXPRESS Racks, which recently logged 1 million hours of service to the orbiting lab — equating to 115 years worth of science completed in just the last two decades. Great work by all!

Thanks to NASA Astronaut @astro_kjell for helping us celebrate NASA's 12 EXPRESS Racks reaching 1 million hours of totaled powered time on June 14! 🎉
These racks have supported hundreds of science experiments on the @Space_Station. 🔬

As #Artemis I Wet Dress Rehearsal gets underway at @NASAKennedy this weekend, I specifically want to acknowledge the incredible work of @NASA's Space Operations teams who've manufactured, tested, and readied facilities to accommodate new flight hardware for missions to the Moon.

NASA’s 12 EXPRESS Racks onboard the @space_station have been powered for 1 million hours — an incredible milestone. The racks can house 100 or more @ISS_Research experiments at a time, controlled by ground teams at @NASA_Marshall or by space station crew.
NASA’s 12 EXPRESS Racks that support hundreds of science experiments on the @Space_Station reached 1 million hours of totaled powered time today!

NASA is infusing laser communications onto multiple missions, including the @space_station and future missions to the Moon and beyond.
We’re excited to announce the first experiments for LCRD are underway! The @NASA_technology and @NASASCan demo will spend two years conducting experiments to test laser communications capabilities.

Watch out for the strawberry Supermoon in our skies on Tuesday night! A Supermoon appears about 17% bigger and 30% brighter than the faintest moon of the year. And speaking of the Moon, did you know you can send your name up there? Find out how below!
You can send your name to the Moon. How?
