We're building a Moon Base! @NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions. Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: go.nasa.gov/4uinkLi

Our FLIP rover is carrying payloads for organizations ranging from NASA to HPE to Interlune! From science experiments to tech demos, explore some of the payloads that have hitched a ride aboard FLIP.

This Apollo 17 photo (AS17-146-22386) taken by mission commander Gene Cernan is particularly interesting, not because there are UAPs or UFOs in it but because we can see the LRV with Jack Schmitt at it and then waaaaaay in the distance, the LM is just a tiny little point of gold.

The Artemis II crew wrapped up their Canadian media tour this week with two distinct appearances in the Montréal area. 🇨🇦🚀 The astronauts first visited the Canadian Space Agency headquarters in Longueuil, participating in an intimate fireside chat with federal employees who had waited three years to greet the crew. On Friday, the tour moved to Place des Arts, where the astronauts shared post-flight insights and fielded questions from a crowd of 3,000 attendees.

Keith's note: there are some blatant truths in this piece. The same growing distrust in Europe with regard to the U.S. and @NATO is now expanding into @NASA / @ESA relations. Its our own fault folks. This is no way to treat our friends. We can fix this. Just sayin'. FYI @AschbacherJosef @NASAAdmin

Lunar Outpost’s Starweave is a swarm autonomy software layer that enables heterogeneous systems to operate as an autonomous, coordinated fleet across space and Earth domains. Originally developed for @AFResearchLab and @SpaceWERXDOD, Starweave delivers mesh networking, positioning and timing propagation, and autonomous fleet coordination, allowing a single operator to command at the fleet level and oversee thousands of heterogeneous systems working together autonomously. Starweave enables: • Multi‑Domain Operations spanning marine, ground, air, orbital, and planetary environments • Self‑healing fleet architectures • Operations in GPS-denied, extreme, bandwidth‑constrained environments #LunarOutpost #DrivingArtemis #TheNextLeap #SpaceTech #Innovation

We’re proud to introduce the payloads from 4 NASA centers flying aboard our FLIP rover in the second half of this year (2026)! From a lunar dust experiment from @NASA_Johnson to a LiDAR demonstration from @NASA_Marshall, explore the FLIP NASA collaborations: astrolab.space/2026/05/18/ast…

Behind-the-scenes look at how we plan lunar exploration missions and sustain operations. Starts in 1 hour. With: - Dr. Brian McCarthy (a.i. solutions) - Dr. Diane Davis (Texas A&M, former NASA) - Garrett Hehn (NASA) Sign up: payloadspace.com/webinar/sustai…

America & Canada were inspired & proud of #ArtemisII @NASA said that a lot. Its true. The crew visited Congress but #NASA press secretary @NASASpox Bethany Stevens only reposts Republican social media on her official account. No Dems. No #Canada mention. Why? C'mon. We're *ALL* proud. @Will_Bo @joel_graham @commercedems @sciencedems

Update @NASAWallops employees in Code 800 have been informed that they are now under the @NASAKennedy managerial umbrella effective immediately and that @NASAGoddard ETD (Engineering and Technology Directorate) leadership had been instructed to cancel their travel to Wallops. These employees were also told that an email with more details would be coming later this week.
