Before Frank Rubio was named to Artemis III, he set a major record aboard the International Space Station: At 371 days, he had the longest consecutive mission for a NASA astronaut. 🚀 Learn more about him in this throwback episode of Houston, We Have a Podcast. nasa.gov/podcasts/houston-we…

The Moon looks even more beautiful when it’s bathing in some Earthglow – let’s hear it for Earth Joy! Congratulations to my friends and colleagues on the Artemis III crew: @AstroKomrade, Frank Rubio, @astro_luca, and @Astro_AndreD. This mission in low Earth orbit will pave the way for our subsequent @NASAArtemis missions to land humans on the Moon.

The Artemis Generation is here. Artemis III will help us get into the rhythm of multi-launch campaigns, test new capabilities close to home, and then take the next step toward building a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole.

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.

Even the simple act of drinking water is more fun in microgravity. Surface tension in action, science in every sip!

Tomorrow, we're announcing the astronauts flying aboard Artemis III, the mission that will test rendezvous and docking capabilities with commercial lunar landers in low Earth orbit. If you could ask the Artemis III astronauts any question, what would you ask them?

There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.

One of the cool things about working here @NASA is that you can pick names out of a hat and you’ll end up with a phenomenal crew. Like these four currently on @Space_Station!
