Mail time! 📪 We're kicking off 2024 with the fourth edition of Fan Mail, featuring @astro_berrios, @astro_birch, @AstroDuke, @AstroIronMike, @Astro_Raja, @AstroKomrade, and @astro_anil!
Learning displays in an Orion simulator …. flying a barrel roll in the T-38…. competing in an orienteering meet…. It’s been a rich 24 hours!
Artemis I launch was scrubbed today after an engine bleed issue prevented chilling to the correct temp range. However, it was an honor to support w/@NASA_Astronauts and thank the people who have devoted many years to building this incredible vehicle. Thank you and Go Artemis!
Let’s hope they can solve the issue
First tank: full! The liquid oxygen tank has been loaded and will be replenished while we continue topping off the liquid hydrogen tank.
We’re GOing in 1 more day! 🚀 Spending my morning at @NASAKennedy with a few @NASA_Astronauts candidates before #Artemis I launch. This is what the future of space exploration looks like!
We are ready. 🚀 In just five days, the first launch opportunity of the integrated @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion spacecraft will take place. The uncrewed #Artemis I mission around the Moon will pave the way for future crewed missions and begin a new chapter of exploration.
🚀We. Are. Going! Several astronauts executed this incredible formation fly(🪰?)-by of Artemis I, including Flies @Astro_Ayers & @astro_hathaway. Launch is currently scheduled for Monday 8/29 at 8:33 EDT— check out the @NASAKennedy YouTube for live coverage. Photo: @NASA
Nothing in a vacuum happens “in a vacuum”— that is, nothing happens without a team. This even includes donning our spacesuits. Huge thanks to my team at the NBL today, including experienced astro @Astro_Jessica, for guiding me through my first pressurized suit experience.
Training bonus? I can now say I’ve traveled supersonic! (Mach 1.04 might be small potatoes to the experienced pilot, but it was still an interesting milestone.) Personally, I found the few seconds of zero-G flight to be much more exciting!
First flight in the T-38! These jets are a critical platform for practicing quick decision making and working as a team in a rapidly changing environment. As the rear cockpit crew member, my job was to handle radios and navigation to help our small crew accomplish its mission.
¡Con gusto presentamos los nuevos directores de vuelo! La cohorte de 2022 incluye: Heidi Brewer, Ronak Dave, Garrett Hehn, Diana Trujillo, Elias Myrmo, Chris Dobbins, y Nicole McElroy. ¡Bienvenidos al equipo! Más: go.nasa.gov/3bmzDT9
Announcing the 2022 class of NASA Flight Directors: Heidi Brewer, Ronak Dave, Garrett Hehn, Diana Trujillo, Elias Myrmo, Chris Dobbins, and Nicole McElroy. We are excited to have this talented group join our ranks to lead human spaceflight! Read more: go.nasa.gov/3naea2t
The Flies🪰 are starting our space walk training flow! The first “step” in the process is actually a “reach”— into many pairs of pressurized gloves🧤to find a workable fit. Here, suit engineers & technicians are helping me test glove comfort and dexterity inside a vacuum chamber.
🪰 Enjoying our first introduction to microgravity physiology countermeasures. This specialty equipment lets astronauts work out in space! 🏋️🚴🏃 Yes, there is a “smart” space bike that varies pedaling power… and I’m already excited about it. 🤔💭
Look out, Houston! We’ve completed our T-6 training and are ready to begin ground school for the T-38. I’m grateful for these months of immersive T-6 training with the Navy, and getting to be a part of this community. We are done with the turboprop… now on to turbines! 🛫
I had the incredible opportunity to ride with the @BlueAngels and observe their team practice. Like many high performance teams, the Blues keep a “growth mindset,” giving feedback frequently, not just on performances. The flight was thrilling, and the debrief just as interesting!

@astro_birch Looks like a little bit of ascent there! That’s the best part! (totally biased though)
Bonus: My favorite moments were between takes, when we got to excitedly and authentically share this moment in history. Lots of laughs, stories about kids at home, and travel woes. Stories of past launches and other events they have covered. Looking forward to the next time!
So thrilled to be out here at Kennedy Space Center for tomorrow’s @NASAArtemis launch attempt! Proud to be a part of the NASA team!
Quick portrait from afar of @AstroVicGlover as we all awaited the potential launch of Artemis I today. Lots of @NASA_Astronauts are in town; some of them will surely head to the moon in the coming years. Exciting times!
Nice sunrise in Florida. Time to break out the sunglasses. ESA team still going strong. Kind of.
First tank: full! The liquid oxygen tank has been loaded and will be replenished while we continue topping off the liquid hydrogen tank.
This morning I had my first look at the fully assembled #Artemis1 rocket - I’m speechless! Years of dreams and exceptional hard work at @NASA have paid off - WE ARE GOING! Launch window to the Moon opens at 08:33 ET tomorrow! Follow along: nasa.gov/specials/artem…
