ICYMI: researchers recently discovered and tested a breakthrough heat-resistant material at NASA Glenn! It could help @NASA melt Moon rocks to extract resources — like metals for building infrastructure and oxygen for fuel and life support systems. 🌕 Here on Earth, it could prove ideal for making coatings that protect parts inside of jet engines. ✈️ More on this work: go.nasa.gov/3PDCega

The pieces for Artemis III are coming together at @NASAKennedy. The twin solid rocket boosters? They’re getting stacked. The launch team? They’re simulating the countdown. The heat shield? It’s now attached to the Orion spacecraft. Full steam ahead for Artemis III.

That summer Friday feeling. 💙 Sandbars and submerged dunes ripple across the seafloor off the coast of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, shaped by currents and waves in crystal‑clear water. NASA astronaut @Astro_ChrisW captured this view from the International @Space_Station while orbiting 263 miles above the Atlantic Ocean. Where is your summer Friday taking you?

🎮 Artemis III: Loading... From hardware deliveries to key milestones, progress toward our next mission is moving full speed ahead with SLS hardware arriving at @NASAKennedy. Stay in the game with recent updates as we prepare for Artemis III. go.nasa.gov/4aLRAXn

Freedom ✅ Fair ✅ Fission-Powered Spacecraft ✅ Discover the future of deep space exploration! Come see @NASA at the Great American State Fair to learn more about our upcoming Space Reactor-1 Freedom mission — and to see what a nuclear-powered spacecraft could look like. We’ll be here at the NASA pavilion through July 10: go.nasa.gov/4eQDTaU

Have you added your name to the list to tag along with the @NASARoman Space Telescope? ➕🚀 Time is running out to send your name a million miles away! Register before the July 12 deadline. ⌛️ my.nasa.gov/specialevents/…

As America marks 250 years of progress, we're celebrating the freedom to explore 🇺🇸 NASA Glenn designs, develops, and tests innovative technology to transform aviation, revolutionize space exploration, and inspire new discoveries for the benefit of all.

There will be more than just fireworks to see in the night sky this month! You can look forward to these celestial sights in July: - A lunar-planetary alignment - A visiting comet - A good look at Saturn and the Milky Way Happy skywatching! go.nasa.gov/4whiJtl

Our employees are soaring to new heights! ✈️ Glenn’s Logan Larson recently received the @NASA administrator's new Flight Experience Award, which recognizes some of the agency’s highest-performing employees. Through the program, Larson took to the skies last month aboard @NASAAdmin's privately owned Northrop F-5 Tiger II high-performance fighter jet. The incentive flight was funded personally by the administrator. Larson has provided crucial support for the @NASAArtemis program's Orion spacecraft through numerous engineering, integration, and leadership roles. He currently serves as the deputy project manager for the Space Reactor-1 Freedom Nuclear Power Module.

Have you looked up what our @NASAHubble telescope saw on your birthday? Our popular page has a new look — and now, you can use it to find five stellar sights that Hubble was observing on whatever day you choose. Check it out: go.nasa.gov/4xZJ5Sk

A new era of flight research is set to begin here at NASA Langley. The Flight Dynamics Research Facility (FDRF) carries forward more than a century of innovation - combining and expanding the capabilities of Langley's 12‑Foot Low‑Speed Tunnel and 20‑Foot Vertical Spin Tunnel. Learn more about the pioneering legacy the FDRF will advance: go.nasa.gov/4f8bDlc Picture 1: The 20-Foot Vertical Spin Tunnel (left) and the 12-Foot Free-Flight Tunnel (later the 12-Foot Low-Speed Tunnel) in 1946.
