Thank you. Thank you to all of our team members who make our #Artemis missions to the Moon possible. Without you, the hardware doesn’t get built, the science doesn’t get discovered, and the rockets don’t fly. We are going, together.

The Viking 2 lander's first photo from the surface of Mars 👇 was taken within minutes of the spacecraft touching down #OTD in 1976. Besides taking photos, the lander analyzed samples and conducted experiments in search of Martian life until April 1980.

Gateway will offer unparalleled opportunities to study the harsh environment of deep space. By monitoring radiation and space weather, Gateway will help scientists prepare for the conditions astronauts and spacecraft will face far from Earth. go.nasa.gov/4e6wbr5

55 years ago, scientists like biologist Elaine Muñoz at NASA Ames were getting their first looks at the Apollo 11 lunar samples. While they didn't find evidence of life, the samples have shed light on how the Moon formed. More on moon rocks on NASA+ plus.nasa.gov/video/nasa-exp…

The @ESA European Service Module for #Artemis III is inside the spacecraft factory at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The team is preparing to remove the service module from the environmentally-controlled transport container that protected it on the journey from Germany.
