Join us today for a live event where we'll share our @NASAMoonBase plans! At 2pm ET (1800 UTC), we'll update you on our progress toward a long-term presence on the Moon. Watch right here on X.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage secured the freedoms that make great endeavors possible and continues to inspire generations of Americans to serve something larger than themselves. We remember them, and we remain forever grateful.

Let's take a (space)walk! On May 27, two Roscosmos cosmonauts will exit the @Space_Station to install a solar radiation experiment on the Zvezda service module. Learn how to watch live: go.nasa.gov/4wJqFoj

@AustinDeSisto @UofMaryland @NASAAdmin @NASASpox @NASAArtemis 👏🥹

Artemis II truly inspired the next generation 🎓 Lots of space spirit at @UofMaryland main commencement yesterday.

From the @space_station to deep space, it's been a busy week at @NASA. 🚀 🏛️ Swearing in @NASADepAdmin 🔴 Psyche captures stunning new Mars images 🛰️ Successful delivery to the ISS 🌔 @NASAMoonBase update next week Here’s your NASA Minute!

Today, we are announcing an initiative to put NASA’s mission first and resource the objectives that matter most. We are organizing, planning, and investing in the talent and Centers to achieve the world-changing objectives only NASA is capable of accomplishing.

We won four Telly Awards! 🎉 These awards recognized live coverage of Artemis II, documentation of lunar geology training, and a video journey through exploration with our past, present, and future space telescopes: go.nasa.gov/4doMdPB

@vpetersen0891 We hope you'll tune in on Tuesday!

@NASA @NASAMoonBase Awesome!

We're building a Moon Base! @NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions. Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: go.nasa.gov/4uinkLi

If you’re seeing this… this is your sign. Take the next giant leap in your future by applying for an internship, where students work on real NASA projects, build technical and professional skills, and learn directly from NASA mentors: go.nasa.gov/4tSQNdU

What did we learn on the International Space Station last year? From miniaturizing surgery to testing better batteries, explore the hundreds of experiments that scientists ran on the @Space_Station in 2025 to benefit humans on and off the planet: go.nasa.gov/4tRmO6a

Today, Matt Anderson (@NASADepAdmin) was officially sworn in as NASA’s 16th Deputy Administrator. At a pivotal moment for America’s space program, he will help lead the agency’s work to advance scientific discovery, strengthen American leadership in space, and drive the missions that will return astronauts to the Moon and prepare for Mars. NASA’s next chapter of exploration is already underway. go.nasa.gov/4ukpeet

First stop, Mars. Next stop, Psyche 📍 On May 15, our Psyche spacecraft swung by Mars on its way to its next destination: a metal-rich asteroid also named Psyche. The Red Planet gave the spacecraft a 1,000-mph speed boost and provided some stunning photos as well!

@NASAMoonBase As part of @NASAArtemis, the @NASAMoonBase will serve as a lunar habitat for long‑duration exploration and science. Robotic missions will work alongside astronauts to study the Moon and help prepare us for future Mars missions.

Deadline approaching: You have until May 22 to apply for our fall internships. 🚨 We provide short‑term, hands‑on opportunities for students to work on essential NASA projects – including ones that help future Artemis missions. go.nasa.gov/4tHNyWt

We see your conjunction photos in the replies! Thank you for sharing how you captured the moment from your corner of the world 🌒

Did you catch the Moon-Venus conjunction? On the night of May 18, our Moon and Venus had a celestial meetup, called a conjunction. Their position in the sky made them appear close together, despite being millions of miles apart in space.

@himalganguly Beautiful! 😍
