I'm proud to work for a company that is a leader in space technology, and that is playing a critical role in NASA's Artemis program, returning humans to the Moon. lnkd.in/e5AJ3Vq

I’m proud to be part of @NASA_SLS as we are on the verge of first flight, and it’s exciting to see fully stacked boosters @NASAKennedy. Next up - vehicle integration!
ARCHIVED: NASA_SLS@NASA_SLS

An important milestone has been reached for #Artemis I: Stacking is complete for the twin Space Launch System solid rocket boosters. 🚀 The boosters provide more than 75% of total thrust at liftoff. MORE on the work by @NASAGroundSys at @NASAKennedy >> go.nasa.gov/3v9Oi9F

Good to see progress being made on the next Green Run test. It will be great to complete this test series and see all #Artemis I components @NASAKennedy for integration.

Green Run Update: Teams have repaired a liquid oxygen valve on the #Artemis I core stage. The stage will be powered up for remaining functional checks this week before moving forward with final preparations for a hot fire test at @NASAStennis mid-March. >> go.nasa.gov/2O08Ssx

Space exploration is imperative to our nation’s success for so many reasons. It’s important we maintain bi-partisan support.
Coalition for Deep Space Exploration (CDSE)@XploreDeepSpace

Space exploration is vitally important to our planet, from driving innovation to addressing climate change. In a new op-ed, CDSE CEO @DittmarML explains why our national programs in exploration & science must continue to have bipartisan support: ow.ly/LZt650C8xBf | @thehill

I particularly liked the opening of this article…. "How an engineering team responds to failures, and even plans them, is almost more important than the failures themselves." #OmegARocket
The Space Review@tsr

What happens when a rocket test goes awry? One example is a problem during a test last year of a solid rocket motor being developed for Northrop Grumman’s OmegA rocket, showing how such problems are investigated and resolved. buff.ly/2Zpi8cs
