🚨 NASA is sending helicopters back to Mars
• 3 of them will be strapped to a nuclear-powered spacecraft
• First nuclear-powered interplanetary spacecraft in over 60 years
• The helicopters will be released from the spacecraft during atmospheric descent, then deploy their rotors and land independently
• They’ll scout for ice beneath the surface and help pick where humans might actually land someday
• Launching in 2028
The crew of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission entered quarantine late Thursday at the agency’s @NASAJohnson Space Center in Houston. Mission preparations continue as @NASA and @SpaceX target an early October launch to the International Space Station. More... go.nasa.gov/4xtNV8Q
Our Celeste mission demonstrates 5G positioning signals from low Earth orbit.
This first-of-its-kind in-orbit demonstration opens the door to future satellites providing both connectivity and positioning services.

We awarded contracts to @iceye_global and @LDO_Space to study options for the future Earth Observation Governmental Service (EOGS).
The studies will look at how the full system could be designed, from satellites and ground infrastructure to data processing and delivery to users.
Part of ESA’s ERS-EO programme, this work will help prepare a future European Earth observation capability for security, preparedness and crisis response.

NASA’s new X-59 test pilot Mike Lippert has powered up the aircraft for his first time as he gets closer to his first flight in the X-plane.
With guidance from fellow test pilots and months of simulator training, he’s gaining critical insight to how the cockpit and control room sync in real time.

When human explorers make it to Mars, they'll likely thank MOXIE for the oxygen they breathe and use for fuel.
NASA sent several precursor tech demos with me, including MOXIE, which proved it's possible to extract this critical resource from Mars’ thin, CO2-rich atmosphere.
Important Update: As part of @NASA’s effort to streamline communications, this account will be archived in the coming weeks – but don't worry, my mission isn't going anywhere.

Congrats to the entire @NASARoman team on this milestone.
We're especially excited to see that testing is going well for our Roman Coronagraph, which will demo new ways to directly image planets around other stars!

Sometimes your eyes need a minute to focus when you wake up. Roman's Wide Field Instrument just woke up for the first time EVER, and scientists have started adjusting its "eyes" so they can focus on the bigger picture.
Check out its first test image below go.nasa.gov/4j51w30
Booster stacking for the @NASAArtemis III Space Launch System rocket is nearly complete!
Each booster stands 177 feet tall and will provide the majority of the 8.8 million pounds of thrust to propel four astronauts inside the Orion spacecraft on their journey to low Earth orbit.
NASA has selected @SpaceX to launch StarBurst. 🚀
The small satellite will scan the sky for short gamma-ray bursts from merging neutron stars, capturing the earliest high-energy signals. StarBurst is targeted to launch on a Falcon 9 from SLC-40 at CCSFS no earlier than 2028.
