The Artemis II mission flag has officially been raised on the flagpole on the lawn of the Kennedy Space Center Press Site. This is starting to feel real! 📸@NASASpaceflight

BREAKING: Artemis II reveals their Zero-G indicator, "Rise". The competition was won by a 2nd Grader in California. Inside of Rise is the Micro SD card which features the names of people submitted online! 📷 @NASA

Introducing the Moon Mascot for the Artemis II mission! The zero gravity indicator for the Moonbound crew was selected from thousands of submissions from over 50 countries and is named “Rise.” The design was inspired by the iconic Earthrise moment from the Apollo 8 mission.

Integration of our lunar CubeRover sometimes involved sewing pieces of wool felt together with kevlar strings to protect critical components.🧵🪡Never assume your arts & crafts hobbies can't be put to use in service of space exploration! Pics of CubeRover being integrated with our Griffin-1 lander are on the way.

A special sendoff for the @NASAArtemis II crew! 🚀 This morning, Johnson Space Center employees lined the streets outside Ellington Field to cheer on the crew and their backups as they arrived for their T-38 flights to @NASAKennedy. The Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft await them on Launch Pad 39B, with liftoff targeted for no earlier than April 1.

And booster landing.

LAUNCH! SpaceX Falcon 9 B1081-23 launches Starlink 17-17 from SLC-4E, Vandenberg.

@SpaceX is building an 815,000 sq ft Starship integration facility at Cape Canaveral. $1.8 billion. 600 jobs. Florida didn't just attract it. We built the infrastructure to support it.

NASA's new "Ignition" website (nasa.gov/ignition/) now has the Powerpoints from Tuesday. Keep scrolling down past "media resources" to each topic. Fact sheets and links to the RFIs/RFPs are there too.

The DOW conducted what appeared to be another successful test of the Dark Eagle Long Range Hypersonic Weapon from Cape Canaveral this afternoon. The LRHW is a joint program between the Army and the Navy, and it remains to be seen which agency this test was conducted for.

Uhhhh is this all we're going to get for Transporter-16? ☹

Yesterday, Isar Aerospace was set to launch its qualification flight for Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ from Andøya Space during a 15 minute launch window. While all operations and check-outs were nominal throughout the countdown, Isar Aerospace was informed about an unauthorized vessel intruding the designated danger zone at sea. Shortly before the launch system entered final autosequence, the launch was placed on hold for 15 minutes. The range could only be declared clear at 21:18, and the countdown resumed. As a result of the delay, the vehicle encountered an increase in engine fuel temperature, which could not be addressed within the shortened countdown and hence forced the abort of the mission. Daniel Metzler, CEO and Co-Founder of Isar Aerospace: “Rocket launches are highly complex operations – from safe ground infrastructure to more than 100,000 parts, structures, and systems working together seamlessly. While we're working to return to the pad as quickly as possible, we will not compromise on mission assurance.”

TIME’s new cover: SpaceX is racing to build its most powerful rockets yet with the goal of returning humans to the moon. Gwynne Shotwell is leading the charge alongside Elon Musk. Read it here: time.com/article/2026/0…

Another gorgeous sunrise over the Gateway to Mars! Booster 19 is currently in Mega Bay 1 getting a full set of engines we hope, as Ship 39 is worked on in Mega Bay 2 ahead of it's upcoming static fire. Stay tuned into the action 24/7: nsf.live/starbase @NASASpaceflight

We’re stronger together.

Starbase Pad 2 got its sign back After being removed to make way for the new orbital pad, the "GATEWAY TO MARS" sign has returned in a new location, hopefully this time to stay. @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase
