Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Breathtaking 🚀🌑

On the shoulders of giants... 🧑🏼‍🚀 The Artemis II crew aboard Integrity have officially traveled farther into space than any humans before, passing the record set during Apollo. Our live coverage continues: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

In Arizona, a new chapter of space exploration is taking shape. HALO—Gateway’s first habitation module—is moving closer to completion. NASA and its partners are preparing to live, work, and explore more of the Moon and venture deeper into space than ever before. This is how humanity goes further. go.nasa.gov/4cS3rCT

.@NASA_Gateway will be humanity’s first space station to orbit around the Moon. HALO, A core component of Gateway, is now on American soil and one step closer to launch. HALO will support Artemis astronauts visiting Gateway on their way to the lunar surface.

With the Moon above and the future of deep space exploration in view, Gateway’s HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) moves one step closer to launch.✨🌕 go.nasa.gov/4i6bCwr

🌍➡️🌕➡️🔴 The Moon is just the beginning. In this special @NASA_Johnson podcast series, NASA experts and astronauts share how Gateway, humanity’s first lunar space station, will support #Artemis and help prepare humanity for Mars. 🎧 Listen here: go.nasa.gov/4kBdz6G

@Jason_Lil_Kim Congratulations to you and your team, Jason! Nicely done!

Power and Propulsion Element progress pics! 📸✨ Technicians at @MaxarSpace are installing key hardware on the element that will power Gateway's journey to and around the Moon. go.nasa.gov/3XkZu35

Assembly of the Power and Propulsion Element is underway at @MaxarSpace ✨🔧 The module will make Gateway the most powerful solar electric propulsion spacecraft ever flown. Learn more about the element that will power humanity's first lunar space station: go.nasa.gov/42PuImx

A deep-space duo in the making! 🌕✨ Gateway’s first two modules, the Power and Propulsion Element and Habitation and Logistics Outpost, are taking shape —together, they’re the foundation of humanity’s first space station beyond low Earth orbit. go.nasa.gov/4jGm5Ay

2024: A year of milestones, teamwork and innovation for Gateway, humanity’s first lunar space station. 🌕✨ From hardware progress to global collaboration, this year brought NASA and its partners closer to unlocking a new chapter in deep space exploration. nasa.gov/gateway

Celebrating a year of progress, bold and bright as NASA and partners prepare Gateway for flight. With Power to Propel a lunar space station so clear, here’s to progress ahead in the coming new year. Happy HALO-days to all, and to all a good night! 🌔✨ nasa.gov/gateway

"We’re just two friends. Two good friends. Two best friends." 💖💚 Gateway’s first two modules—HALO and PPE—will launch together to lunar orbit, where they’ll establish Gateway’s location around the Moon and set the stage for #Artemis IV. 🌕 What a pair they'll be!

#WorldSpaceWeek is a time to celebrate international collaboration in space. 🌍✨ Working hand in hand with @esa, @csa_asc, @JAXA_en and @MBRSpaceCentre, Gateway unites cutting-edge science, tech and innovation from around the world to shape the future of lunar space exploration.

Hear that? A new Gateway podcast just dropped! 🌕🧑‍🚀 In this #HWHAP episode, UAE Astronaut @astro_hazzaa discusses the airlock @MBRSpaceCentre will provide for Gateway. Discover how international partnerships are shaping the future of lunar exploration: go.nasa.gov/4eykrhM

Linking up with the Moon—literally! 🌕 @ESA’s Lunar Link element will keep Gateway connected with rovers, landers, and satellites on and around the Moon. The system’s high data speeds will even support live video and high-resolution streaming. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3TP7XtN

From the Moon to Mars 🌕🔴 Gateway, the first lunar space station, will help NASA and its partners prepare for humanity’s next giant leap—future missions to the Red Planet—by testing technologies and capabilities around the Moon. go.nasa.gov/3TIeyG2
