NASA’s about to send astronauts to the Moon for the first time since 1972. Most people have no idea. I’m the daughter of two NASA astronauts, and even I took space for granted. This is the story of how I woke up - and why I’m creating a completely different way to experience Artemis II.

At NASA, we take to the skies for training, cutting-edge flight test programs, to send our astronauts to space, and to inspire the next generation to look up and imagine what is possible. Today, we had the opportunity to fly Lara Trump and Eric Trump over NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and to show them where history is being made on the ground, including a visit to the Vehicle Assembly Building and the Artemis II rocket that will send NASA astronauts farther into space than ever before. We were honored to host you where America reaches for the stars.

Last week at NASA's Johnson Space Center I participated in part 1 of a 2 part glovebox test assessing different spacesuit pressures and how they might affect our dexterity and ability to accomplish tasks on the Moon for future NASA Artemis missions. This was a blind test, so I didn’t know if this was the pressure that I’m used to from my experience in the spacesuit (4.3 psi) or a higher pressure …. felt pretty similar to me but we’ll see how it compares to tomorrow’s test!

🚨 NASA WARNS ARTEMIS II FACES A HIDDEN THREAT — FLAMMABLE ASTRONAUT FARTS COULD BUILD UP INSIDE ORION A science expert just said something on television that NASA doesn’t usually say out loud… Astronauts fart in space. And inside the Orion spacecraft… space farts don’t just disappear. Those fumes can actually be flammable. • Farts release methane + hydrogen in a sealed capsule • Both gases can build up in a confined environment • NASA studied astronaut diets for YEARS to reduce how much they fart • Apollo recordings caught crews complaining about how brutal it got inside Now Artemis II is about to test this again. Yes, Orion has air scrubbers… but in a small capsule, with multiple astronauts, for days… It doesn’t just go away. It builds. And in space, there’s nowhere to escape it. How bad do you think it actually gets inside that capsule?

How do we test how the human body reacts to pressure changes in space? 👀 We engineer low pressures on Earth! At JSC, volunteers can live & work in a specialized low-pressure chamber while scientists track their health. This helps NASA design protocols for future missions.

After traveling 1.4 million miles around the Moon and then back to Earth during the Artemis I mission, the Orion spacecraft proved its capabilities in the harsh environment of space. But the spacecraft’s evaluation did not end at splashdown. Recently, engineers at NASA’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility subjected Orion Spacecraft to the extreme conditions it may experience in a launch abort scenario — which is an emergency when Orion, and astronauts inside, would jettison away from the ARCHIVED: NASA_SLS rocket for a safe landing in the ocean. The mission-critical testing is important to the safety and success of future NASA Artemis missions. Learn what’s next, view more photos of Orion, and see key moments from the 11-month test campaign in Ohio: In this video: On Nov. 23, 2024, after subjecting the Orion test article to launch abort-level acoustics, experts tested the functionality of the forward bay cover, which is the last piece that must eject before parachutes deploy.

Before the holiday break, I practiced my Moon 🌖 landing skills for a neuroscience experiment at NASA's Johnson Space Center. I’ll do these sessions before my launch, while on International Space Station, and after returning to Earth 🌍 to better understand the effects of gravitational transitions on an astronauts ability to land on the Moon. More science details below. —————————————————The Manual Piloting study aims to assess the performance of astronauts during simulated lunar landings and to clarify how gravitational transitions may affect piloting capabilities and decision-making. Before, during, and right after their missions, astronauts will complete laptop simulations designed to test their ability to land a virtual spacecraft on the Moon. Cognitive, balance, and others tests conducted during those same times will also help scientists understand how changes in gravity may affect the piloting performance of crew members. Results from this work will allow NASA to create strategies geared toward helping pilots on future exploration missions. This work may also support safety on Earth by improving our understanding of how dizziness and sensory impairments could affect the ability to drive vehicles.

Artemis II rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center last Wednesday, and I was given the incredible opportunity to place two remote cameras inside the VAB to capture the roll from inside. Two Canon EOS Rebel T5’s were placed inside at two different locations on time delays. They were set to take a photo every 20 seconds, and ended up taking thousands of photos combined. All of these photos were stitched together to create this timelapse. A huge thanks to NASA media teams for making this possible! 📸 - launchheaven
