Basking in the total solar eclipse, learning all about the launch process of the NASA_SLS rocket, and simulating the g-forces aboard the Orion Spacecraft spacecraft — all in a week’s work when you’re an #Artemis II astronaut!

Check out @Astro_Reid’s weekly update.

Being in the vacuum chamber has us breathless 😲

The #Artemis II spacecraft is currently undergoing electromagnetic interference/compatibility testing inside one of the altitude chambers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, upgraded to test Orion in a vacuum environment that simulates an altitude…

The Orion team is celebrating the total #eclipse today and sharing our love for exploring the cosmos with #Artemis at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway! 😎 #IndyEclipse24

The Orion Spacecraft team from @nasaglenn is so excited for the total eclipse today here at the Great Lakes Science Center in Ohio! It’s been great to talk about exploration with #Artemis during this awesome celestial event.

New Orion pics👀✨

At NASA's Kennedy Space Center, teams moved the #Artemis II stack into a vacuum chamber, where it will undergo electromagnetic compatibility and interference testing to confirm Orion can safely fly through harsh electric fields.

The Airbus-built European Service
Module gets its very own tailor-made insulation suit!🪡

Did you know that some parts of the
#ESM require hand-stitching?
#TeamAirbus recently sewed on an essential part of the ESM 2 that insulates the spacecraft: the Flexible External Insulation…

🧵 Airbus Space is leaving no loose ends on the European Space Agency European Service Module that will power the second Orion Spacecraft around the Moon 🌑🛰️

Congratulations to Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Astrolab for being selected to move forward in developing the #Artemis lunar terrain vehicle!

The Artemis II crew was revealed 1 year ago today! Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen will be the first people to go to the Moon in over 50 years, and the first to fly the Orion spacecraft. nasa.gov/feature/our-ar…

Welding: ✅! Gateway's HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) is one step closer to launch following welding completion in Turin, Italy. Provided by Northrop Grumman, HALO will offer space for crew to live, work, and prepare for lunar surface missions. go.nasa.gov/3VJFEPg

It’s #InternationalChildrensBookDay ! To celebrate, check out NASA astronauts, including our #Artemis II Pilot Victor Glover, reading “You Are Going,” illustrated by a former Orion intern! More: nasa.gov/you-are-going

Artemis II crew weekly update for March 11-22, 2014. I will strive to post these on X (and IG) weekly as we work towards launch next year. Cheers!

Merci, National Centre for Space Studies President Philippe Baptiste and Consul General of France in Houston Valérie Baraban, for visiting Orion Spacecraft! It was a pleasure to show you our spacecraft mockup and share our international passion for exploring the cosmos with #Artemis .

We're getting ready to take Orion for a spin 🚀

On #Artemis II, astronauts will pilot the Orion spacecraft for the first time. Learn more about this first test, called the proximity operations demonstration, when Orion's crew will take the reins: go.nasa.gov/4amk8E1
