Packed house at #SpaceSymposium for our @JHUAPL panel on “Building the Moon Base”. Hearing perspectives from @WHOSTP, @NASA, industry, and John’s Hopkins APL. @SpaceFoundation #JHUAPL

We kick off @SpaceSymposium today with our "Science and Exploration" track in Baltimore West - Rocky Mountain Ballroom. @NASA Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya leads the track with a fresh update on Artemis II. Join us in 1 hour (10 am MT). #JHUAPL

Headed to @SpaceSymposium for an exciting week of engagement and interaction with government, industry, and research institutions. Our team from @JHUAPL will be leading the "Science and Exploration" track (Mon), the Cislunar panel (Wed), and the Moon Base panel (Thu). #JHUAPL

From cleanroom to ocean world – our Dragonfly mission has begun integration and testing at @JHUAPL. Engineers are powering up key systems, including the spacecraft’s “brain” and power units, preparing the rotorcraft for the journey to Saturn’s moon Titan. go.nasa.gov/4ljsD9w

@JHUAPL is excited to lead the SELINE payload for @NASA. SELINE sits at the intersection of lunar exploration and space weather, and enables measurements that are relevant to future human operations on the Moon. jhuapl.edu/news/news-rele…

Great news today from @NASA for the selection of our new heliophysics space weather mission, CINEMA! Excited about the partnership with Dartmouth College, UCB/SDL, and Blue Canyon Tech. Congratulations to the entire team. #JHUAPL jhuapl.edu/news/news-rele…

~3 hours from our @IAC2025sydney Plenary Panel on humanity's return to the Moon, moderated by myself and Ben Greenhagen from @JHUAPL. Join us in the Sydney ICC Pyrmont Theater at 1:45 pm to hear the latest from @NASA, @esa, @JAXA_en, @fireflyspace, @AusSpaceAgency. #JHUAPL

Heading out to @IAC2025sydney for a full week of meetings w/ space community leaders. Don't miss our plenary panel on "The International Community's Return to the Moon", featuring NASA, ESA, JAXA, Firefly, and Australia. #JHUAPL iafastro.org/events/iac/int…

Great start to the @amoscon in Maui this week. Took an informative Astrotactics Space Wargaming course and now enjoying talks on dual use tech and space-based assets. Come visit the @JHUAPL booth to discuss ways we can collaborate on National Security and Civil projects.

Very proud of the entire Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP). We are <1 week from launching @NASA's next big Heliophysics mission, after 7+ years of hard work. IMAP will image our heliosphere & study the solar wind with a comprehensive set of instruments. @JHUAPL

The Dragonfly mission is flying through milestones! Recent thermal and environmental testing shows how the rotorcraft will survive and navigate Titan’s skies. This bold mission will explore one of our solar system’s most intriguing worlds. go.nasa.gov/3V9Kd3L

@iafastro @IAC2025sydney Very excited to organize and moderate this session IAC 2025! We have a great line up of panelists and will share the incredible international initiatives to learn to live on another world.

Join us for the IAC 2025 Plenary: Learning to Live on Another World: The International Community's Return to the Moon! 🌙 📅 Tuesday 30 September 13:45 - 14:45 (AEST), ICC Sydney More info ➡️ iafastro.org/events/iac/int…

Over the next decade, @NASA missions near Earth will adopt commercial services to send and receive data. The Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) demonstration, launching alongside TRACERS, will attempt to prove missions can roam between commercial and government satellite networks.

Looking forward to an awesome Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium #LSIC meeting @JHUAPL this week. An incredible attendee list with topics focused on strategy and tech to build a sustained lunar presence. I'll be helping kick things off at 9 am Tuesday. lsic.jhuapl.edu

Learners at #SpaceSymposium can upscale education in leading physics challenges through the @HopkinsEngineer fully online Master's Applied Physics program. We offer flexible courses in quantum, space science, materials, and more. Register here, ep.jhu.edu/programs/appli…

Our @JHUAPL team is excited to bring the Space Science Track to #SpaceSymposium, today from 10 am to 5 pm in Broadmoor Main Ballroom. I'll kick things off before transitioning to Earth Science, Heliophysics, JWST, HWO, Ocean Worlds, Lunar Exploration, and other topics. Join us.

Our team from @JHUAPL will be at 40th #SpaceSymposium this week. Our focus is to bring government, industry, & academia together to drive the national conversation on space science, cislunar space, and space weather. Join our events and will see everyone at our booth! #JHUAPL

Registration now open for @HopkinsEngineer Lifelong Learning Executive coure "A New Space Race: Our Current Space Exploration", lifelonglearning.jhu.edu/jhu-course-spa… . With several @JHUAPL scientists and engineers, I'm excited to deliver the first offering in April 2025. #SpaceExploration

“I am deeply honored to receive this recognition for the critical space missions and research happening at APL,” said Jason Kalirai, an astrophysicist and space mission executive at Johns Hopkins APL, who was recently selected as a fellow by @AAS_Office. jhuapl.link/riq

Many thanks to @AAS_Office for selecting me as a new American Astronomical Society Fellow. It's an incredible honor and I look forward to continue to represent the society. aas.org/press/aas-name… #JHUAPL
