Astronauts on deep space missions will need to ration their food carefully since chances for resupply will be limited. 🍽️🚀

How tricky will this task be? To find out, NASA gives crews on simulated space missions a food challenge. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3WaHjuE

Teamwork makes the dream (chaser) work 👏

The first joint training simulation for NASA and Sierra Space flight controllers happened earlier this month. The teams practiced operations for the new Dream Chaser spacecraft to fly to the International Space Station.

Did you know Josh Cassada & Nicole Mann attended U.S. Naval Test Pilot School where over 90 graduates went on to become NASA Astronauts?✈️

Tune in tomorrow as Josh Cassada, Nicole Mann, & Frank Rubio answer questions from aviators & K-12 students.

#OTD 15 years ago, history was made in the form of a handshake🤝

On Oct. 25, 2007, two women commanders, Peggy Whitson and Pamela Melroy, shook hands in space. Since then, women’s representation on space crews have increased significantly. go.nasa.gov/3swjAro

During a 6-month stay aboard the International Space Station, astronauts are exposed to the same amount of radiation as ~1000 chest x-rays. NASA research into a way to assess the damage from this radiation forms the basis of a new diagnostic for cancer treatment. go.nasa.gov/3eZfFAp

The spacesuit worn by NASA Astronauts during spacewalks is designed to protect them from the various hazards they face when working in the void of space. Do you know how many layers of materials are in that suit to do that job?

LIVE NOW: #AskNASA your questions about the science flying to the International Space Station on Nov. 6 on @NorthropGrumman’s S.S. Sally Ride cargo spacecraft, set to lift off Nov. 6. Also aboard: Uganda and Zimbabwe’s first satellites. youtu.be/nhrcmB79qUM

Have you ever experienced menu fatigue? If you eat the same foods every week, you might!🍕

This #NationalFoodDay , learn why & how NASA scientists study ways to keep astronauts' meals appetizing as missions stretch longer. go.nasa.gov/3CZKGvT

For our NASA Artemis missions, lighting conditions at the Lunar South Pole will be challenging as the sun is constantly at a low angle on the horizon. Here sarah shull and I are conducting a simulated lunar spacewalk as part of a joint @NASA JAXA（宇宙航空研究開発機構） #DRATS mission.

Wonder what it’s like to live and work on the Moon? 🌕

Desert RATS returned to Black Point Lava Flow, Arizona this month for “day in the life” mission simulations to prepare for future NASA Artemis missions. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3TZtuh5

Joining us directly from the International Space Station, Frank Rubio of NASA Astronauts reflects on his recent launch into space and his first days on station on this week’s, “Houston We Have a Podcast.” go.nasa.gov/3VOUmlg
