Celebrating the people who have taken us to new heights. #WorldPilotsDay
Remember quarantine? The Apollo 11, 12 and 14 astronauts each spent 21 days in quarantine after their missions to the Moon, in case they had been infected with lunar organisms. NASA Administrator George Low announced that future Apollo crews would not be quarantined #OTD in 1971.
#TBT to April 28, 2003, when our GALEX telescope launched on what became a decade-long mission to observe the universe in ultraviolet light. It helped us trace the history of star formation and learn about how galaxies evolved over cosmic history.
The Hubble Space Telescope was just beginning more than three decades of unprecedented exploration 🔭 Once in space, procedures verified that Hubble’s systems were functioning properly and #OTD in 1990, it was successfully deployed into orbit by the STS-31 crew.
POV: Inside the firing room in 1990 during the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery. Discovery launched #OTD as part of the STS-31 mission. With five astronauts onboard, its primary goal was to deploy @NASAHubble. The rocket launch itself can be seen through window on the top left.
Astronaut Peggy Whitson made history (again) #OTD in 2017 when she broke the U.S. record for cumulative days in space at 534 days. She still holds this record, now with 675 days in space. She was also the first woman to command the @Space_Station and the first to do it twice!
One of NASA's greatest photographers was launched on this day in 1990! Space Shuttle Discovery launched with the Hubble Space Telescope, one of the world's largest and most versatile space telescopes, as part of STS-31. Learn about Hubble's origins: go.nasa.gov/4baiTZa
Hubble's 34th launch anniversary is this week! 🥳 We're celebrating with this new image of the Little Dumbbell Nebula. Located about 3,400 light-years away, this nebula formed when lobes of gas expanded out from a dying star at the center. For more: go.nasa.gov/49OpEP1
Annie Easley, born #OTD in 1933, began her 34-year career at @NASA in 1955, working as a human computer. When human computers were replaced by machines, she evolved too, becoming a computer programmer. go.nasa.gov/3Ulw2sF
NASA will be sending its VIPER rover to explore the permanently shadowed regions near the Moon's south pole in search of water ice and other resources. VIPER's data will tell us where the Moon's ice is most likely to be found and easiest to access. More ⤵️ go.nasa.gov/49MJQRB
Samples of both the lunar soil and pieces of rock were returned to Earth from this site and studied at NASA's Johnson Space Center. go.nasa.gov/3xRfYpG
Hi, it's me. - V1
"I realized up there that our planet is not infinite. It’s fragile." —Alan Shepard, first American in space This "Blue Marble" photo, taken by the Apollo 17 crew in Dec 1972, is one of the most widely distributed photos in history and a symbol of a worldwide movement. #EarthDay
In April 2017, the Cassini spacecraft began its Grand Finale, making its last close flyby of Saturn's moon Titan on April 22. Read about this last dramatic phase of Cassini's mission before its eventual plunge into Saturn: go.nasa.gov/4d01CDv
"There's a big rooster tail out of all four wheels." The Lunar Roving Vehicle gets a speed workout (reaching 10 km/h) by astronaut John Young during the first Apollo 16 extravehicular activity at the Descartes landing site, #OTD in 1972.
Gravity Probe B, an experiment developed at @Stanford to test two predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, launched 20 years ago today! Essential to its functioning were 4 gyroscopes with precisely shaped niobium-coated spheres. Read: go.nasa.gov/4cYUOWT
Apollo 16 astronauts John Young and Charlie Duke became the 9th and 10th men to walk on the Moon #OTD in 1972, roaming the Descartes highlands as their crewmate Ken Mattingly orbited above. Watch the classic documentary on NASA+: go.nasa.gov/3w11Olp
On flight day 5, astronauts John Young and Charlie Duke entered Apollo 16's lunar module "Orion" and prepared for their descent to the lunar surface, taking this shot of the Command and Service Module "Casper" after undocking. About this day's events: go.nasa.gov/3JlAEsm
