Get the coffee pot ready. We'll livestream the spacewalk right here starting at 6:45am ET (1145 UTC). twitter.com/Space_Station/…

@StridleWarwitch Agreed. ❤️

A #comet that hasn't been in our cosmic neighborhood in 50,000 years is making its closest approach to Earth on Feb. 2. With binoculars and clear skies, you may spot C/2022 E3 (ZTF) near the Big Dipper. Let us know if you do!

All #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate the rich contributions of Black Americans past and present who further our NASA mission. Follow along throughout February as we share their stories: go.nasa.gov/2GrOoU3

#NASARemembers: 20 years ago #OTD, Feb 1, 2003, at 8:59am ET, space shuttle Columbia broke up on reentry. The entire crew perished. Rick Husband Willie McCool Michael Anderson Kalpana Chawla David Brown Laurel Clark Ilan Ramon We will never forget. go.nasa.gov/3YezowF

.@VP Harris awarded former NASA astronauts @Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken the Congressional Space Medal of Honor during a ceremony at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building this afternoon. See more images 📷➡️flic.kr/s/aHBqjAqqS4

.@VP Harris awarded @Astro_Doug & @AstroBehnken the Congressional Space Medal of Honor! Doug & Bob dared to explore the unknown and made history on NASA and SpaceX’s Demo-2 mission. Their legacy will inspire future generations to reach for the stars. nasa.gov/press-release/…

“Bob and Doug represent the best of our nation.” —@VP Kamala Harris Congratulations to former @NASA_Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, recipients of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, presented to them for their bravery in NASA’s @SpaceX Demo-2 mission.

LIVE: @VP awards former astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley the Congressional Space Medal of Honor for bravery in NASA’s @SpaceX Demo-2 mission, the first @Commercial_Crew flight to send astronauts to the International Space Station: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@LoneResolve That is wonderful! We’re glad to have helped out with your research. I guess we can add “helped provide sources for a research paper” to our list of spinoffs.😉

Meatless proteins, less airport waiting time, faster wound healing: The benefits of space exploration can be found on Earth, too. The latest edition of @NASAspinoff features technologies that apply to everyday life: go.nasa.gov/3jkyno1

@UndyingJeremy Excellent question. Food processing techniques and packaging solutions vary based on the item's perishability and ingredients. Also, our astronauts do practice growing fresh food aboard the @Space_Station, such as leafy greens, peppers, and radishes. go.nasa.gov/3CyaMY7

@HirtOleh We agree!😃 Did you know that you can follow the @Space_Station's location in real time—and get alerts on your phone when it passes over your hometown? spotthestation.nasa.gov

@PaulJam05670441 Coverage for Thursday's spacewalk will begin at 6:45am ET (1145 UTC); the spacewalk itself is scheduled to start around 8:15am ET (1315 UTC) and go for about six and a half hours. Hope that helps!

Join us for a spacewalk this Thursday! NASA's @AstroDuke and @JAXA_en's @Astro_Wakata are heading outside on Feb. 2 to continue preparing a new set of roll-out solar arrays for the @Space_Station. Watch live on our social channels and NASA TV: go.nasa.gov/3Y9B0rx

Do you #MealPrep? What'd be on the menu if you were going to space? We selected finalists in Phase 2 of our Deep Space Food Challenge. Beyond making safe, healthy, tasty food for astronauts, winning technologies may help address food insecurity on Earth: go.nasa.gov/3DuZjIz

On Tuesday, Jan. 31, Demo-2 astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken will receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor for bravery from @VP Kamala Harris. Live coverage is scheduled to begin at 4:15pm ET (2115 UTC) on social media and NASA TV: go.nasa.gov/40giU9m

@lwzc7799 Great question! Our Milky Way galaxy will likely collide with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy four billion years from now. Our Sun will fling into a new region of our galaxy, but our Earth and solar system are in no danger of being destroyed. go.nasa.gov/40g6MVS

@quar1us hard same

You’re looking at what may be hundreds or even thousands of galaxies colliding! @chandraxray pictured this massive knot-like collision of galaxy clusters nearly 780 million light-years away from Earth: go.nasa.gov/3JpWqfQ

@TonyRoma1992 @ExploreCosmos_ @esa Great question! A Sample Return Lander would land near or in Jezero Crater and load @NASAPersevere samples onto a small rocket. Two Ingenuity-like helicopters would provide a secondary capability to retrieve samples on the Martian surface. mars.nasa.gov/msr

Someone understood the assignment. 🤓 It's official: @NASAPersevere has dropped the final tube for the #MarsSampleReturn depot! Ten samples have been deposited on the Martian surface and could be returned to Earth for in-depth analysis in the future. go.nasa.gov/3WPS5pB

@librarycongress @adalimon @EuropaClipper The poem set to fly in space aboard @EuropaClipper, and how you can participate, will be revealed in the coming months. Learn more about the Library of Congress and Ada Limón’s work 🧵: twitter.com/librarycongres…

A collaboration written in the stars. ✨ We’ve teamed up with @librarycongress’s Poet Laureate @adalimon to send a poem to space! Limon’s poem dedicated to @EuropaClipper will be engraved on the spacecraft, targeted to launch Oct. 2024. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/40gQQmf

We're sending a new crew to the @Space_Station! NASA's @SpaceX #Crew6 mission is scheduled to launch from @NASAKennedy no earlier than Sunday, Feb. 26. Get to know our four Crew-6 travelers and what they'll be working on over their six months in orbit: go.nasa.gov/3WNJhQI

@eternallife2112 Good idea to take care of it before it gets even more…nebulous. 🌫️

🦉 Duo bingo: @NASAHubble captured a bright variable star and its smaller companion star in the upper left of this composite image. Both lie in the Orion Nebula, a colossal region of star formation roughly 1,450 light-years from Earth: go.nasa.gov/3Y9idwJ

This Week at NASA: Remembering our fallen heroes, announcing new engine propulsion technology, and meeting #Crew6, set to launch to the @Space_Station in February. Sign up and be our virtual guest at launch: go.nasa.gov/3WIjjym

@ZakiAhmed211 They sure do! In fact, from 2015-2017 a specially designed espresso machine, called ISSpresso, was used aboard the @Space_Station. Check out this overview of how it worked: youtu.be/dWuEVSCw8B8

@AxorityOfficial Great question! We recently announced a project to design and test a new generation of sustainable single-aisle passenger aircraft (which make up most aviation emissions). Learn more about how @NASAaero is committed to sustainable aviation: nasa.gov/aeroresearch/s…
