#Artemis II ⛽ simulation!

The SLS core stage stores 730,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen that will fuel the RS-25 engines during lift-off.

Recently, teams with NASA's Exploration Ground Systems simulated loading the propellant onto the rocket, which helps them prepare for launch.

Only a few days remain!

Don't miss the opportunity to #BeAnAstronaut and join the NASA Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond!

RS-25 developmental engine E0525 was removed from the Fred Haise Test Stand on April 9, following completion of the 2nd (and final) 12-test series for lead engines contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3Harris company, to certify and build new RS-25 engines for NASA_SLS.

One step closer!

Astronauts on #Artemis IV will live and work in humanity’s first lunar space station, and welding has been completed for the primary structure of NASA's Gateway Program's HALO module.

Studying the lunar surface 🌙

Scientists used the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to help predict the path of totality for yesterday's #eclipse , but NASA Artemis II astronauts will use the orbiter to learn about lunar landmarks for future landing spots.

Follow, follow the Sun / And which way the wind blows / When this day is done 🎶

Today, April 8, 2024, the last total solar #eclipse until 2045 crossed North America.

Whether you’re a seasoned space enthusiast or a curious newcomer, there’s something for everyone in the space industry.

This #FindYourPlaceinSpace week, NASA invites you to explore the numerous opportunities that are available.
