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!

We have liftoff for the Texas Space Commission! Gov. Greg Abbott launched 🚀 the Texas Space Commission today, here at Johnson Space Center. Texas and state Legislature passed the Texas Space Commission to allow the State of Texas to take a more profound lead and increase

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.

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

Our team welcomed Japan’s Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Masahito Moriyama to the Orion Spacecraft spacecraft factory at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. We’re looking forward to advancing lunar exploration together under #Artemis! go.nasa.gov/3U8hziB

Always a pleasure speaking with the Pathways Interns at NASA's Johnson Space Center and answering their thoughtful questions! NASA Internships are the future of #Artemis and are an important talent to foster for the agency as we return humanity to the Moon. Keep up the hard work Pathways!

Come to the dark side….of the Moon! 🌑 On #Artemis II, our crew will travel approximately 4,600 miles beyond the far side of the Moon. But not to worry — NASA’s force will still be with them. Happy #StarWarsDay! #maythefourthbewithyou

You will apply to the Jedi Ord....ahem we mean...apply to intern at NASA. 👋 We're always looking to expand the best crew in this galaxy or any other. Apply for our Spring 2025 intern session by Aug. 23, 2024: intern.nasa.gov

Thank you to New York's Intrepid Museum for hosting Tim Straube, Orion Spacecraft deputy manager of avionics, power, and software during "Astro Live-Artemis: To the Moon and Beyond"! Tim shared our excitement for the upcoming crewed #Artemis II mission and great Orion progress beyond.

A well-deserved congratulations to the first-ever Orion Spacecraft Circle of Excellence awardees! The #Artemis II crew helped present this prestigious award to our Orion stars that have shown sustained excellence and made a lasting impact over the years.

Thank you USS Abraham Lincoln for a great visit and the opportunity to understand operations, have meaningful discussion, and learn more about U.S. Navy leadership. I'm honored to witness outstanding women and men of our Navy in action, protecting our freedoms. You make us proud!

The team at NASA's Johnson Space Center White Sands Test Facility tested and ensured Orion Spacecraft's service module propulsion system was ready to fly before #Artemis I. Thank you WSTF for all your exceptional work, which shone on Orion's historic first journey around the Moon!

It was great visiting EaglePicher Technologies in Joplin, MO this week with Reid Wiseman and meeting the team who makes the batteries for our Orion Spacecraft crew module. The team is hard at work ensuring the critical batteries are ready to fly on #Artemis II and beyond!

Thanks Reid Wiseman for joining us at EaglePicher Technologies! It was great spending some time with the battery team.

Welcome to our Orion Spacecraft summer interns! This is the largest cohort of NASA Internships so far for Orion, and I'm excited to see all they'll accomplish under their skilled mentors this semester.

Congratulations to the Malin Space Science Systems team on receiving the 2023 Rigel Award, Orion Spacecraft’s Small Business of the Year award! Malin Space was recognized for their exceptional work developing Orion's docking camera, which will be tested during the #Artemis II mission.

The Orion Spacecraft team visited Houston-based Oceaneering, who provided Orion’s crew module uprighting bags, and Houston Precision Fasteners, who supplied spacecraft fasteners, to recognize their contributions to the #Artemis I mission around the Moon.

It was fantastic to be at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility today to watch the rollout of the NASA_SLS core stage for #Artemis II and also see Orion Spacecraft production, including the crew module pressure vessel for Artemis V!

Terrific talk today with our summer class of NASA Internships at NASA's Johnson Space Center! Our interns are key to #Artemis missions sending humans to the Moon.

The European Service Module for #Artemis III is on its way from Airbus Space to NASA's Kennedy Space Center! The service module is assembled in Germany with contributions from 10 European countries — congratulations to the @ESA and Airbus teams on our key to pushing Orion Spacecraft to the Moon.
