While casting shade on @elonmusk for what he’s done, is doing, or will do, try to pause & remember that he made electric cars a normal thing in society and he commercialized space — for cargo, satellites, & people. Count him among those who are inventing civilization’s future.
Mission Milestone 3 ✅! All check outs of the customer payloads onboard the HAKUTO-R Mission 1 lunar lander have been completed and no deficiencies were found. With the earlier completion of Success 4, this means we have now achieved all of the first four Mission 1 Milestones.

😮 They're in! The hi-res pics from the point of @NASA_Orion's maximum distance from Earth during the #Artemis I mission, taken yesterday by a camera on one of #OrionESM European Service Module's solar arrays 👉 flic.kr/ps/sv14h #ForwardToTheMoon
Flight day 13: Orion reached its maximum distance from Earth during the #Artemis I mission when it was 268,563 miles away from our home planet. Orion has now traveled farther than any other spacecraft built for humans.
Images of the far side of the Moon, taken by the optical navigation camera on the @NASA_Orion spacecraft during the #Artemis I close lunar flyby, are available! See 👉 flic.kr/p/2o22E5X #ForwardToTheMoon
Astrobiologists are thrilled after discovering a location on Earth that’s excellent for answering questions about the exploration of Saturn’s moon Enceladus & similar hydrothermal systems on other ocean worlds. Here’s what makes the analog site so unique: go.nasa.gov/3Emckns
The @NASA_Orion spacecraft captured this image of the Moon during its sixth day of flight, as it approached its first outbound powered flyby of the #Artemis I mission and its closest lunar approach. go.nasa.gov/3Eqcvy7
Accelerating the use of space involves everyone: we can use existing frameworks of data and knowledge for new ideas and new applications, and stimulate European industry to build new missions and stretch the boundaries of the possible
#CM22 will be a time for critical decisions. ESA’s Member States, Associate States and Cooperating States must work together to strengthen Europe’s space sector and ensure it continues to serve European citizens. 👉 vision.esa.int/accelerating-s…
Mission Time: 5 days, 7 hrs, 20 min Orion is 226,538 miles from Earth, 2,607 miles from the Moon, cruising at 4,416 miles per hour. P: (-203950, -100605, -37572) V: (4006, -1503, -1096) O: 54º, 55.4º, 13.2º What's this? nasa.gov/feature/track-… #TrackArtemis
The European Service Module boost for @NASA_Orion was right on cue. The Orbital Powered Flyby lasted 149.65 seconds and used 1300 kg of propellant. 🔥👏
