25 years ago, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris Hadfield became the first Canadian to perform a spacewalk. He helped install the Canadarm2 on the @Space_Station. Today, we celebrate this historic moment for Canada’s space sector. 📷: NASA

Beautiful #aurora substorm overnight, April 17-18, 2026. #astronomy @ratzlaff @TweetAurora @TamithaSkov

Voyager 1 has shut off another scientific instrument to keep power margins available. The Low Energy Charged Particle detector was observing ions, now the only powered instruments are the plasma wave and magnetic field instruments. science.nasa.gov/blogs/voyager/…

Today's daily planning conference began with the Artemis II crew awarding @CSA_ASC astronaut @Astro_Jeremy with a gold astronaut pin to commemorate his first spaceflight, per NASA tradition.

The watch party was a BLAST! @ualbertaScience @UAlberta_Eng @AlbertaSat @uastarr @spaceualberta x.com/edmontonjourna…

ISSET invites you to an Artemis II launch watch party at the Student Innovation Centre (SIC) Open Training Space of the Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science (CCIS), University of Alberta, starting tomorrow, April 1st, 3:30pm.

Approximately 50 students and faculty at the University of Alberta gather to watch the launch of NASA’s Artemis II, from the Student Innovation Centre (SIC), in Edmonton, on Wednesday April 1, 2026. 📸: @davidbloomphoto / @EJlensmen

The Artemis II test flight is humanity’s first crewed lunar mission in more than 50 years. 🌕 And this time, Canada is on board. @astro_jeremy and his crewmates will launch from Florida for a nearly 10-day journey. 👉 Learn more: asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/missions/a…

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

The launch team at @NASAKennedy are GO to begin filling the Artemis II rocket with fuel. The official launch broadcast begins at 12:50pm ET (1650 UTC). Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC). Tanking coverage can be found here: youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK8T…

The weather's looking good for tomorrow's Artemis II launch, and our teams are getting the rocket ready for liftoff! Read the latest updates on our mission around the Moon: go.nasa.gov/4tiFY4P
