NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman

I love my job. Honored to serve 🇺🇸

Congratulations, Malta. Welcome to the Artemis Accords as we build toward the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Cosmic lightsaber. The Hubble Space Telescope once captured a photo of a newborn star shooting out two bright jets out into space. Much more energetic than a sci-fi lightsaber, these narrow beams are blasting across space at over 100,000 miles per hour. This celestial lightsaber does not lie in a galaxy far, far away but rather inside our own Milky Way. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4nb7L5B

May the Fourth Be With You

@SenKatieBritt 🙏🏼

We’re all rooting for you, Will! Praying for strength and healing as you continue to bravely battle this diagnosis. You have an entire country behind you in this fight.

NASA HAS RELEASED OVER 12,000 IMAGES OF THE ARTEMIS II MISSION. Unbelievable perspectives captured by the Crew! The aurora on the eclipse is incredible.

@matthewwmullin Bottom right is incredible.

NASA admin Jared Isaacman confirmed to Congress that Dragonfly will launch to Saturn's moon Titan in 2028 The nuclear-powered octocopter will hunt for signs of life in -290°F temperatures

@WhiteHouse 🇺🇸

America is worth protecting. 🇺🇸

No commercial alternative just yet, but the day will surely come, and that is when infrequent crewed missions to the Moon become routine. And just because the agency tolerated externally imposed and self-inflicted inefficiencies in the past does not mean we are willing to tolerate them going forward. The President’s Executive Order made that clear. At NASA, we are on mission, and the clock is running.

Interesting statement from an agency whose flagship rocket costs *40 times* more to launch than the commercial alternative

I'm thrilled to share this unique collaboration with Artemis Il astronaut @astro_reid. Artemis II was a unique opportunity to get high-quality imagery of the moon, and Reid was gracious enough to capture some special image sets for me during the lunar flyby.

The President signed an Executive Order to strengthen efficiency and accountability in federal contracting. At NASA, every dollar matters as we return Americans to the Moon and we won’t tolerate inefficient use of taxpayer resources, waste, fraud, or abuse that stands in the way of the mission.

@davill Wild - thanks for sharing

Cool video of New Glenn’s fairing re-entry. For this flight we installed an exo-atmospheric reaction control system (RCS) in the fairing to control re-entry and enable recovery of the fairing. We’re planning a parachute recovery later this year, and the data from these fairings gives us the learnings needed to develop and refine that capability.

@RepBrianBabin @housescience 🇺🇸

Happy National Space Day! This past year, our nation has gone further than ever before, and it’s just the starting line. As chairman of @housescience, I’m proud of where we’ve been and look forward to where we’re going.

@USAmbUN Thanks for hosting the crew Ambassador 🇺🇸

Space is the ultimate frontier for diplomacy. Through the Artemis Accords, we are bringing 64 nations together to explore the lunar surface and beyond. Great to discuss the future of the space economy and international unity with the brave pioneers of the Artemis II mission last night. Together, we go far.

@SpaceForceCSO @USSpaceForce Congrats General Schiess 🇺🇸

Congrats to Lt Gen Doug Schiess on his nomination to become the next Chief of Space Operations. Leading the @USSpaceForce has been the privilege of a lifetime for Jennifer and me. Semper Supra! spaceforce.mil/News/Article-D…

On National Space Day, we celebrate American innovation and the Space Coast’s leadership in exploration. The bold vision to reach the Moon reshaped history. That spirit continues today. Investment in science and technology keeps America competitive.
