Our #GhostRiders completed another lunar orbit maneuver with a 3 minute, 18 second burn early this morning. This maneuver moved the lander from a high elliptical orbit to a much lower elliptical orbit around the Moon. Shortly after the burn, Blue Ghost captured incredible footage of the Moon's far... show more

I love you to the Moon, but not back - I'm staying there," 💙 Blue Ghost. We captured our first shots of the Moon following a successful Lunar Orbit Insertion. The lander will soon begin to circularize its orbit in preparation for landing on March 2. #BGM1

The Blue Ghost spacecraft, previously sent to the Moon, captured these images shortly after its second maneuver in orbit around the Moon - you've probably never seen such high-quality video footage before!

🚨 JUST IN: NASA mission managers have GREENLIT Artemis II executing the burn that will propel them to the MOON The main engine will burn for 6 minutes, the mission will go beyond the far side of the moon early next week, and use lunar gravity to boomerang back America is officially going back! 🇺🇸 "Mission managers approved translunar injection late this afternoon after a very thorough review because after the burn, options for an early return become more limited." "Just after 2.30 p.m. this afternoon, the NASA ground team woke up, the Artemis II astronauts, with a musical call. They featured music, the song Greenlight by John Legend, featuring Andre 3000." "The four astronauts also had to wake this morning at 650 Eastern to ignite their main engine and raise the Orion spacecraft to a higher Earth orbit in preparation for tonight's trans lunar injection burn." "This maneuver will involve firing the main engine for just under six minutes, sending the spacecraft on a path that will take it beyond the far side of the moon early next week and use lunar gravity to boomerang in roughly the opposite direction, essentially free falling back to Earth for a splashdown off the California coast on day 10 of the mission."

Lead flight director Jeff Radigan informs the Artemis 2 crew that the Mission Management Team has given a go for TLI – the Trans-Lunar Insertion burn. The burn will place Orion Integrity on a trajectory that will loop it around the far side of the Moon and back to Earth.

It’s not a straight shot to the far side of the Moon! 🌕 Over approximately 10 days, the Artemis II astronauts will orbit Earth twice before looping around the far side of the Moon in a figure eight and returning home.

Endurance, our MK1 lunar lander, has entered Chamber A for approximately 11 days of TVAC testing to simulate the extreme thermal and vacuum conditions it will experience in space and on the lunar surface. Thanks to the team @NASA_Johnson for the collaboration as we reach this critical step on our path to the Moon.

Athena completed her scheduled 492-second main engine Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) burn at 6:27 a.m. CST on March 3 and is currently orbiting the Moon. Over the next several hours, flight controllers plan to analyze data to verify the lander’s targeted circular orbit and confirm Athena’s expected landing time. Athena continues to be in excellent health and is expected to send lunar orbit selfies over the next two days before a landing attempt on March 6. (3MAR2025 0750 CST) #AdLunam #IM2 #Athena

The same side of the Moon always faces Earth, but not in exactly the same way. Due to its tilted axis and elliptical orbit, we see about 59% of its surface over time. This simulation compresses a year into 60 seconds, making the Moon's wobble, called libration, visible. 📽: NASA

Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar exploration mission takes off from Sriharikota,Andhra Pradesh. 🚀LVM3 Launch Vehicle Mk III takes the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft to Geo Transfer Orbit (GTO). 🌝#Chandrayaan3 consists of an indigenous propulsion module, lander module, and a rover with an objective of developing and demonstrating new technologies required for inter-planetary missions. The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover from injection orbit to till 100 km lunar orbit. It also carries a Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planetary Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and polarimetric measurements of earth from the lunar orbit. ISRO is bringing the Moon closer to us !

In the next 24 hours, the Artemis II crew will be on the far side of the Moon, farther into space than any humans in history. Even as they reach this historic milestone, we will continue learning a great deal about the Orion spacecraft, setting us up for Artemis III next year and America’s grand return to the lunar surface on Artemis IV in 2028.
