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.

NASA is advancing nuclear power and propulsion in space to accomplish President Trump’s national space objectives. With SR-1 Freedom, launching in 2028, we will demonstrate nuclear electric propulsion and deliver SkyFall helicopters to Mars. In collaboration with @Energy, these capabilities are key to future missions to Mars and beyond. A new chapter of deep space exploration begins. 🚀




Falcon 1, flight one. 20 years ago today. Can you believe it? It looks like a beautiful flight until you look a little closer and see that the engine is on fire. Very short flight less than a minute up and back down to crash on the reef. We learned a lot that day.

NASA is building SR-1 Freedom, a nuclear electric propulsion spacecraft, launching to Mars in 2028. We are proud to announce this during the 250th year of the United States, the mission’s name reflects the spirit of American innovation and exploration. This mission will bring America’s nuclear power capabilities to space and deliver the Skyfall payload of Ingenuity class helicopters to explore the Red Planet. Nuclear power and propulsion will be the key to undertaking crewed missions to Mars and exploring the outer solar system. Space Reactor-1 (SR-1) Freedom will make the next giant leap and accomplish a key component of President Trump’s National Space Policy, bringing nuclear to space alongside @Energy.











We'll host a live event Tuesday, March 24, at 9am ET (1300 UTC) to provide an update on implementation of the National Space Policy and preparation for returning to the Moon's surface by 2028. A press conference will follow. How to watch: go.nasa.gov/4bGQv2q
