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.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage secured the freedoms that make great endeavors possible and continues to inspire generations of Americans to serve something larger than themselves. We remember them, and we remain forever grateful.

New material, who dis? 🌕🔥 Researchers recently discovered and tested a new heat-resistant material at NASA Glenn. It could help NASA melt Moon rocks to extract resources — like metals for building infrastructure and oxygen for fuel and life support systems. If astronauts can “live off the land” on the Moon, they may be able to pack lighter for future missions. More: go.nasa.gov/3PDCega

Gas stations in space? We’re working on it! ⛽ NASA is teaming up with Rocket Lab and Eta Space for LOXSAT, a low Earth orbit technology demo to address the challenges of using super-cold fuel in space. Launching aboard an Electron rocket, this demonstration could help shape the future of in-space propellant depots to refuel missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond: go.nasa.gov/4wzzq4h
