CHAPEA's 4 person crew just entered their home for the next year. They're simulating a Mars mission to help assess health and performance in relation to Mars resource limitations in isolation and confinement. The door is officially closed and the mission has begun. Go Crew 1!

Earth moves. We watch in awe. 🌍 Captured aboard the International Space Station, this timelapse shows our planet from 250 miles up. The International Space Station is more than a window seat. In microgravity, researchers study medicine, materials, climate, and life itself in ways we simply can’t on the ground.

Welcome back to Earth! 🌎 Our four member HERA crew just “returned” home after simulating a 45-day journey to Mars. Their experiences are helping NASA understand how isolation & confinement affect crews on long journeys.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." 💫 Enjoy this nighttime orbital time-lapse taken by ARCHIVED NASA Astronauts astronaut Don Pettit from the Japanese Experiment Module on the International International Space Station. At first glance, it’s easy to only notice the stars and auroras flying by. With a second look, there’s an abundance of science and exterior instruments capturing data that benefit humanity and help us better understand our universe.

Homeward bound. 🌎 Now that the NASA Artemis II crew has flown around the Moon, they are officially on their journey home. There is no deorbit burn for Artemis II – only slight trajectory correction burns – as the translunar injection burn that committed the crew to a lunar flyby also guaranteed their return home. Watch the mission live here:

“Of course, for the entire last 26 years, all of it has benefitted these future missions. And in continuing some of these experiments that will help us with our first landing missions on the Moon makes it even more worthwhile and rewarding for us.” -- Jessica Meir NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and her crew mates recently discussed the upcoming Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station, slated for launch on Feb. 12. While aboard, this crew will also see the launch of four astronauts around the Moon on Artemis II – a mission made possible due to countless dedicated team members and decades of research in low Earth orbit.

50 years of a nation that dares to explore. 🚀 From flags flying across NASA’s Johnson Space Center to the patches worn on spacesuits, from the flag planted on the Moon to the one orbiting aboard the International International Space Station, these symbols remind us who we are and what we strive toward. As America marks its 250th anniversary, we celebrate a legacy of discovery and look ahead with hope — continuing the work that carries us from Earth to the Moon, Mars, and beyond and into the next era of human space exploration.
