A bit of a sneak peek from my SPACESUIT FITTING YESTERDAY (pinch me!) 😱👩🏻🚀 Tune into the livestream at 3pm ET on @NASASpaceflight to see the @ilcdoverastro commercial Astro suit in action, and learn more about its modular design and versatility of use!
NASA astronaut and microbiologist Kate Rubins retired Monday after 16 years with the agency. During her time with @NASA, Rubins completed two long-duration missions aboard the International @Space_Station , logging 300 days in space and conducting four spacewalks. go.nasa.gov/44ST3IL

Today marks the anniversary of the #Apollo11 Moon landing, a defining moment in space exploration. We're honored to have supported this milestone as the provider of the spacesuits. As we celebrate the journey, we remain focused on supporting future missions.
Catch with friends, but make it lunar. 🌕
In 1/6th gravity, a backyard toss becomes a cross-crater Hail Mary. Good thing Astro™ is built to move with you, whether you’re exploring new terrain or just tossing the ball around. 🚀🏈
#SpaceCity
ILC Dover is proud to sponsor another year of the International Conference of Environmental Systems! We are committed to advancing cutting-edge solutions for human space exploration & supporting life in low-Earth-orbit, on the Moon, and beyond.
Astro™ is built for low-Earth-orbit and beyond, but moves like it was made for Friday night lights. 🏈🌕
On the Moon, even a rookie could throw a 100-yard spiral, and Astro™ is ready to throw touchdowns! Put us in, coach. We’re suited up and ready, @HoustonTexans.
#SpaceCity
Astro™ is built for spacewalks, whether on the surface of the Moon, Mars, or in low-Earth orbit. Its modular construction, advanced joint mobility, and precision fit system are designed to accommodate a wide range of astronaut body types.
Happy Independence Day! Today, we are celebrating a country that leads space exploration and innovation. As we look forward, we will continue innovating to explore the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
Happy Fourth of July from the @Space_Station!
Ahead of Independence Day tomorrow, Expedition 73 @NASA astronauts @Astro_Ayers, @AstroAnnimal, and @JonnyKimUSA extend their best wishes to us back on Earth and share what this day means to them. 🎆🧑🚀
We had to tap in to #NationalSelfieDay! 🤳
NASA astronaut @AstroAnnimal turns the camera for a selfie during a spacewalk on May 1, 2025, while upgrading the @Space_Station's power generation system. See if you can spot @Astro_Ayers in this shot.

NASA's Manned Maneuvering Unit, also known as the MMU, was designed to give astronauts enhanced mobility on EVAs, allowing them to spacewalk without a tether. Take a closer look at the flown MMU in our collection: s.si.edu/3FUK9AV#ASQ

Celebrating 100 years of the @Goodyear Blimp! Proud to be part of this incredible journey, supplying the advanced fabrics keeping these icons flying. Our partnership with Goodyear represents decades of collaboration in pushing the boundaries of what's possible in aerospace. ✈️🎈
We were proud to host Ingersoll Rand CEO Vicente Reynal in Houston, where he toured our facility, met the team, and donned our Extravehicular Activity (EVA), spacesuit, Astro™. Thanks for visiting and celebrating the innovation that defines ILC Dover. #MakingLifeBetter
This #MemorialDay, we want to honor our courageous heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their sacrifice inspires us to aim higher and pursue excellence in all that we do.
Did you know our lighter-than-air materials help keep the Goodyear and the March Madness blimps flying high? While our work supports critical aerospace and defense missions, you’ll also find our engineered airships floating above stadiums and sporting events across the country.🏀
