June 10, 2026 - NASA astronaut & Expedition 74 flight engineer Chris Williams swaps hard drives inside the Advanced Space Experiment Processor-4, a research device supporting the processing of scientific samples, increasing the ISS's capacity for microgravity research.

☎️ 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!

Goal from Orbit: Crew-12 Brings Soccer Science to the ISS! NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 launched earlier this year (February 13, 2026) from Kennedy Space Center, delivering four astronauts to the International Space Station: NASA’s Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA’s Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.As the FIFA World Cup kicks off, the crew is using soccer balls aboard the orbiting lab for some out-of-this-world STEM demonstrations. In microgravity, they’re showing how the distribution of mass inside a ball affects its motion, spin, and stability — things that gravity hides here on Earth. These experiments help engineers design better balls for everything from backyard games to World Cup matches. NASA astronaut Jessica Meir has been particularly active in these “STEMonstrations,” floating soccer balls to reveal the hidden physics that make them curve, wobble, or fly true.From launchpad to low Earth orbit, Crew-12 is proving that science and sports make an unbeatable team — even 250 miles above the planet. Who’s your favorite team in the World Cup this year? And would you rather watch a match from the ISS or on the ground?

🎶👋 Après avoir lancé la dernière édition du festival de musique électronique Cercle Festival depuis l’espace, l’astronaute française Sophie Adenot a cette fois adressé depuis l’orbite un chaleureux message à David Guetta pour sa tournée.

Sophie starts EVERY PAO event upside down. Expedition 74 flight engineer Adenot discussed living & working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge & demonstrate new technologies during an in-flight interview June 11 with the European ILA Air Show.

Randy Breznik COMMANDER of Artemis III has long supported Ukraine. In 2017, 20 years after Leonid Kadeniuk did, Randy unfolded the Ukranian flag in space onboard the ISS. He received the flag in the Dnieper, where he spent time with his family & his adopted son, Wyatt!

Artemis III Commander Randy Bresnik is a former Marine fighter pilot, TOPGUN graduate & International Space Station commander. He has logged more than 7,000 flight hours, completed five spacewalks & spent years overseeing the development of Artemis spacecraft and systems.

The EXTREMELY QUALIFIED COMMANDER of ARTEMIS III and a huge NASCAR FAN. During his ISS mission he posted many photos of racetracks he passed over!

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.

CONGRATULATIONS to my favorite astronaut to say on the radio, Italian astronaut LUCA PARMITANO! He was named pilot for NASA’s #ArtemisIII mission. Europe powering Orion with the European Service Module, this mission will test critical operations for future lunar landings. 👍🚀🇮🇹

4 members of the Artemis III crew were announced on 6/9/26. They will conduct a series of tests of two different lunar landers in Earth orbit in 2027. Crew consists of NASA's Randy Bresnik, commander, Andre Douglas & Frank Rubio, mission specialists & ESA's Luca Parmitano, pilot.

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

In a game that kept Knicks fans could not afford THOUSANDS of dollars to attend. Security measures also kept fans from having a WATCH PARTY outside Madison Square Garden. ALL to promote a taxpayer's paid NAP TIME!

Trump likes to claim that he saved NASA. To prove this brag his appointed administrator oversaw a redesign of DC Headquarters lobby by eliminating the research library, featuring interactive exhibits praising him & opening a DONUT SHOP proving his dedication to physical fitness.

ALL WELL ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION. Work continues after Friday's 2 hour shelter-in-place event while Russian crewmates attempt to fix microscopic leaks in their module.

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.
