NASA Space Operations @NASASpaceOps

Did you know astronauts' eyes & brains can change in space? 👀🧠 A new study is taking a closer look at these changes, why they happen, & how long they may persist after returning to Earth. Learn how this will help keep spacefarers healthy on missions to the Moon & Mars!

⏱️100,000 hours - 6,000,000 minutes - 360,000,000 seconds That is how long the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) has been operating aboard the @Space_Station! Learn more about MSG and the many experiments that have been conducted inside it >> go.nasa.gov/4dZhHvX

☎️ On June 9, at 7:57 a.m. CT, the Expedition 74 crew called the payload operations team at @NASA_Marshall to celebrate a major milestone. The Microgravity Science Glovebox aboard station has hit 100,000 hours of crew science and autonomous operations!

Introducing Artemis III. Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown. In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

Expedition 74 crew members aboard the International Space Station including @NASA astronauts Jack Hathaway, Jessica Meir, and Chris Williams, as well as @ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot send their congratulations and well wishes to the four Artemis III crew members. This mission will test critical rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial human landing systems needed to deliver astronauts to the lunar surface. More... go.nasa.gov/4ewaZ0t

UPDATE: The Artemis III event will start at 11:30am ET (1530 UTC) on Tuesday, June 9!
