Starship landing burn and splashdown in the Indian Ocean
Congratulations @TheSpaceGal for being the 100th woman in space!
Seeing our planet for the first time, a dream decades in the making. You’re seeing so many emotions intertwined. Excitement, awe, and pride - but to be honest a little fear and confusion too. You just launched on a rocket and you’re seeing something you’ve never seen before
This morning @NASA announced changes to the Artemis III Moon Landing Regions. Here's a map I made to show them: Red = eliminated; Blue = retained; Gold = added.
🛰️🌕🌍During its recent lunar-Earth flyby, #ESAJuice tested out its 16-metre RIME radio antenna to ping the Moon and listen to Earth. Short story: it works! 🎊 Full story: asi.it/en/2024/10/jui… 📷ESA/Juice/RIME & NASA/LRO/LOLA DEM
See ya later, Clippenator! 🧊🛰️
Deployment of @NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft confirmed
Launching and returning the world's most powerful rocket
🚀LAUNCH UPDATE! NASA’s #EuropaClipper is now targeting NET Monday, Oct. 14 for launch! @NASAKennedy is “all clear” after the storm and teams are moving forward with preparations for the mission to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. 📲blogs.nasa.gov/europaclipper/
Post-Hurricane Milton assessments have begun at @NASAKennedy! #EuropaClipper will not have an official launch date until teams are able to complete these assessments. Together with SpaceX, we are working to protect launch opportunities NET Oct 13. ℹ️ blogs.nasa.gov/europaclipper/

Happy, healthy, home: Polaris Dawn safely splashed down after completing the first spacewalk from Dragon, reaching new heights in Earth’s orbit, testing Starlink in space, and conducting ~40 science experiments. A new era of commercial spaceflight dawns, with much more to come.
The Polaris Program team is incredibly honored to share this global music moment with the world! @Gillis_SarahE played a space-qualified violin on board the Dragon spacecraft and sent us the footage and audio back via Starlink. We mixed this footage alongside a set of beautiful orchestra performances, both from a dedicated assembly of professional performers in the United States — as well as youth players from around the world. Joining us in this moment is John Williams, the legendary composer who is responsible for some of the most iconic scores in the history of film and music. I had the honor of photographing him alongside the crew in Los Angeles. His soft and gentle presence is unlike that of anyone I've ever met, and it was a unique privilege to watch him share this moment with Sarah and the entire crew. In addition to being an engineer at SpaceX, Sarah is a remarkably talented classically-trained violinist who has been playing since a young age. As access to space continues to expand through commercial missions like Polaris Dawn, it is high time that we send more and more artists, poets, and creative individuals to space. This is one big step toward that future. Enjoy the music from space and around the world!
HARMONY OF RESILIENCE: Recorded in space and sent to Earth via @SpaceX’s @Starlink constellation, Polaris Dawn crewmember and violinist @Gillis_SarahE invites you to enjoy this music moment in support of @StJude & @ElSistemaUSA → polarisprogram.com/music
As if this mission could get even better – mission specialist @Gillis_SarahE performs Rey’s Theme from The Force Awakens in space with ensembles from around the world and John Williams himself watching live! Is this the first time a #violin has been played in space? 🎻

SpaceX and the Polaris Dawn crew have completed the first commercial spacewalk! “SpaceX, back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here, Earth sure looks like a perfect world.” — Mission Commander @rookisaacman during Dragon egress and seeing our planet from ~738 km
Wow wow wow. Something about so many accomplishments and firsts being packed into a single mission is spectacular. Having this happen during my first week of teaching @mtholyoke and being able to share Sarah and Anna’s accomplishments with my students is really special.
Polaris Dawn Flight Day 2 Update The Polaris Dawn crew began Flight Day 2 with an incredible milestone – Dragon reached an apogee of more than 1,400 kilometers, marking the farthest humans have traveled in space since the completion of the Apollo program over 50 years ago.
Dragon will initiate a two-day pre-breathe process to prepare the crew for their upcoming spacewalk on Thursday, September 12
Godspeed Polaris! 🫡✨
Its closest pass yet and its first-ever views of Mercury's south pole – last night was quite a night for #BepiColombo! Enjoy this taste of our fourth Mercury flyby. Details & images 👇esa.int/Science_Explor…
The #Starliner spacecraft is back on Earth. At 12:01am ET Sept. 7, @BoeingSpace’s uncrewed Starliner spacecraft landed in White Sands Space Harbor, New Mexico.
