🚀#OTD 4/19/2001: 🇨🇦 #Canadarm2 @Space_Station Remote Manipulator System launched to the #ISS on #STS100 nasa.gov/feature/space-… @csa_asc @NASA #robotics

#OTD 4/19/2021: @NASA's 🔴🚁Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made the first of its 72 flights, showing that flight in the thin atmosphere of #Mars was indeed possible! It flew for the last time on January 18, 2024. science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-2… #space

#OTD 4/17/1970: All hands were on deck to pull off the impossible. #Apollo13’s return is the ultimate story of teamwork under pressure—where human ingenuity & grit brought Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise safely back home to Earth. nasa.gov/mission_pages/… @NASA #space

🥳🎂 Please join me in extending warm birthday wishes to my friend and #Expedition27 crewmate Andrei Borisenko! With over 337 days in space across two missions, Andrei is a true veteran of the @Space_Station. Here's to many more amazing orbits! 💫

🚀 Meet 4-year old Sofia, whose dream is to become an 👩‍🚀🩺 astronaut Doctor. Sofia loved watching the #Artemis2 crew splashdown with her grandpa, and undoubtedly has a bright future ahead of her! @nasaartemis @Space4teacherZG #space #kidsinstem #artemisgeneration

🛩️OTD 4/16/1867: Famed aviator and inventor Wilbur Wright was born. Along with his brother Orville, Wilbur designed and flew the world's first successful airplane. nps.gov/daav/learn/his… #aviation

🕯️Please join me in remembering @NASA #astronaut David Brown - gymnast, @USNavy captain, flight surgeon and aviator - who perished during his 1st spaceflight aboard #Columbia #STS107 - Born #OTD 4/16/1956. Ad astra✨

#OTD 4/16/1972: @NASA_Astronauts John Young, Ken Mattingly and Charlie Duke embarked on an incredible journey to the #Moon with the #launch of #Apollo16 - @NASA's second-to-last crewed lunar landing in the #Apollo program: youtube.com/watch?v=pfqvBh…

Intuitive Machines has been chosen for a fifth mission, IM-5 and I'm seriously pumped about this one because it will be the first time we get to fly our big boy - the mighty NOVA D lander! The earlier NASA awards were all about proving the tech, but IM-5 is a massive leap forward. We’re stepping up with bigger, tougher hardware, teaming up on international payloads  and heading to a prime ridge on Mons Malapert. That spot gives us near-continuous sunlight for power and rock-solid, constant comms with Earth. This isn't just a delivery run; we're scaling up and pushing the envelope to get us closer to a sustained lunar presence.

Prior to @NASA's #Mercury project, the work of a group of deaf subjects made substantial contributions to the understanding of motion sickness and adaptation to spaceflight: nasa.gov/missions/proje… #GallaudetEleven @astroaccess
