Had a great trip south to see the completed SLS, learn more about Artemis, meet the Administrator and see where the SLS will have its final test before launch. What a great tip and got some fantastic footage and interviews to boot!
🌠 Look up to the sky tonight to catch one of the most prolific and reliable meteor showers of the year!
The Geminid meteor shower will put on a dazzling display for sky watchers when it peaks Dec. 13 – 14. Despite the nearly-full Moon, you’ll be able to see around 20 to 30 meteors per hour. Plan ahead: https://go.nasa.gov/2Ervj1z.

NASA Centennial Challenges is teaching USA Science & Engineering Festival attendees how to pack for space! Learn about the secondary payloads #NASASLS is packing for its first launch here: https://www.nasa.gov/…/mu…/secondarypayloadinfographic.html
Winners of NASA’s Cube Quest Challenge are preparing their small satellites to launch on the first #Artemis mission, aboard NASA's Space Launch System rocket. Once in space, these three CubeSats will travel to or beyond the Moon to show us what they’re made of, as they take small satellite technology to a new level.

Come along for a journey to the darkest corners of our universe – where invisible forces draw galaxies together & dark energy rips them apart. Set a reminder to join us for a #Halloween episode of #NASAScienceLive: http://nasa.gov/live
Join experts as we discuss the most complex telescope ever created by humans – the James Webb Space Telescope. Webb will be like a powerful time machine with infrared vision that will peer back over 13.5 billion years to see some of the first stars and galaxies forming out of the darkness of the early universe.
NASA Challenges the Public to Convert CO2 into Sugar
Future human explorers on Mars are going to need to live off the land. That means making things like food and medicine using Martian resources. NASA’s CO2 Conversion Challenge aims to find a way to turn CO2 on Mars into the essentials future astronauts will need to survive.

NASA is going to the Moon and on to Mars, in a measured, sustainable way. Working with U.S. companies and international partners, NASA will push the boundaries of human exploration forward to the Moon. NASA is working to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon within the next decade to uncover new scientific discoveries and lay the foundation for private companies to build a lunar economy.
The lunar surface will serve as a crucial training ground and technology demonstration test site where we will prepare for future human missions to Mars and other destinations. Through an innovative combination of missions involving commercial and international partners, robotic lunar surface missions will begin as early as 2020, focus on scientific exploration of lunar resources, and prepare the lunar surface for a sustained human presence. Right now, NASA is taking steps to begin this next era of exploration. #Moon2Mars
