The boosters for the Artemis III mission are getting stacked!

Technicians are stacking the twin solid rocket boosters for the Space Launch System rocket at @NASAKennedy. The boosters will provide more than 75% of the rocket’s total thrust at launch — scheduled for 2027.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

Roadtrip complete ✅

After departing @NASAStennis, the fourth and final RS-25 engine for @NASA's SLS rocket has arrived in Florida.

Now reunited with the other Artemis III engines, the powerful quartet is almost ready for installation at @NASAKennedy.

LIVE: Meet the crew of our next Artemis mission.

One week to go! 🚀

@NASA will announce the Artemis III crew on June 9 at 11am ET (1500 UTC). Get ready to meet the four astronauts who will help advance the technologies needed to return humans to the Moon.

We have retrieved signal with @NASA_Orion after an expected loss of signal when the spacecraft flew directly behind the Moon.

You can see Earth in the distance. That's us. #Artemis

This is RIGHT NOW. @NASA_Orion is looking back at Earth and the Moon from distant retrograde orbit. Watch the #Artemis I livestream: bit.ly/3EBXYiY

Our @NASAArtemis #Orion spacecraft is making #selfie history, capturing itself with our entire home planet and all of mankind. It’s plain to see from this perspective that we humans are truly one, all in this together in our one common home. Almost halfway to the Moon already!

When we go, we go together.

The #Artemis team wants to thank everyone who helped us along the way toward the first launch of the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion.

👀 ASE members @AstroKomrade and @Astro_Jessica talked with @NASASocial participants who are currently at @NASAKennedy for the upcoming @NASAArtemis I launch! #ASEOutreach

#DYK each solid rocket booster on @NASA's Space Launch System rocket produces 3.6 million pounds of thrust - equivalent to 14 four-engine jumbo commercial airliners!

We are ready. 🚀

In just five days, the first launch opportunity of the integrated @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion spacecraft will take place. The uncrewed #Artemis I mission around the Moon will pave the way for future crewed missions and begin a new chapter of exploration.
