NASA Space Operations

Welcome to NASA’s Space Operations X page! We’ll share the latest news about astronauts living and working in orbit, travel to and from the space station, launches and landings, space communications and navigation, developments in low Earth orbit, as well as updates from Space Operations leaders. We look forward to sharing space with you!

LIVE: Agency leaders are providing a recap of the day’s announcements and discussing our progress toward implementing the National Space Policy. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

NASA is building on 25 years of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station. Before its decommissioning in 2030, we intend to:     - Increase support for commercial crew PAM and cargo missions to the ISS  - Maximize research missions in low Earth orbit with commercial potential - Help industry mature technical and operational capabilities - A future where NASA becomes one of many customers for commercial stations    America will work with industry and our international partners to ignite a sustainable orbital economy. We will never surrender our presence in low Earth orbit.

Some of our weekend time on @Space_Station is spent doing normal Earthly things like haircuts, but of course with the added excitement for the vacuum of space…a literal vacuum attached to our hair clippers to catch all of the cuttings! I brushed off my space haircutting skills and put them to the test on @astro_hathaway, but don’t worry, I would never actually let him touch my space hair, I love it too much!
