#Artemis

A daughter looking at her mother 🌍 Christina Koch, Mission Specialist of NASA’s Artemis II Mission, is currently making history as the first woman to ever leave Earth orbit and journey toward the lunar far side. In 2019–2020, Christina Koch spent 328 days aboard the International Space Station, where she helped conduct the first all-female spacewalk in human history. Her legacy is one of resilience, and she continues to inspire a new generation of women. #fyp #artemis #moon #space #nasa

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launches from @NASAKennedy at 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

🌕📸 Artemis II Saw Earthrise From Behind The Moon Artemis II just sent home lunar flyby photos that show Earth rising above the Moon's far side from a crewed spacecraft for the first time in more than 50 years. The images came during the crew's seven-hour swing around the far side on April 6, 2026, when Orion slipped behind the Moon and lost contact with Earth for about 40 minutes. One frame shows a thin blue crescent Earth hanging over rugged terrain near Ohm crater, while another records a total solar eclipse with a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk. NASA says the crew also photographed impact craters, ancient lava flows, surface fractures, and six meteoroid impact flashes on the shadowed surface. That matters because these are not postcard shots alone; the colors, shadows, textures, and geometry give scientists fresh clues about how the Moon's crust formed and changed over time. The eclipse view matters too, because Orion's position let the astronauts watch nearly 54 minutes of totality and capture a perspective that is impossible from the ground. Artemis II was a test flight, but it already turned the Moon back into a place humans can observe directly instead of only through robotic passes and distant telescopes. If this is what one flyby produced, later Artemis missions could return with even richer surface views, better field observations, and a much sharper picture of the world we are heading back to.

Had a once in a lifetime flight experience tonight on our way home. Thanks @united for letting us reroute a bit to see the launch of Artemis II from the coolest angle! I own all rights to the video as I took it on the flight.

🚀 We’re Not Watching History… We’re Living It 🌕✨ The Artemis II crew is boarding the spacecraft… Final steps, final moments, final goodbyes — before humanity once again reaches beyond Earth 🌍 NASA confirmed on 31 March 2026 that launch is set for April 1 at 6:24 AM EDT ⏳🔥 And this time… We’re not just hearing about it in history books. We are living this moment in real time. 💫 This is our generation’s space story: 👉 First crewed mission to the Moon in 50+ years 👉 Astronauts heading into deep space aboard Orion 🚀 👉 A mission that will shape the future of Moon & Mars exploration Every step they take… every second of this countdown… Is a moment we’ll remember forever. 🌌 This isn’t history being told… It’s history being written with us as witnesses. 📌 Follow @space_fusion_9384 for powerful space moments, updates & cosmic storytelling 🚀 . #artemis2 #moonlanding #spacelaunch #nasa #artemis

Witnessing American history & Badassery!!! The Artemis II launch at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The most powerful man rocket in history. Sending four brave astronauts further than any human has ever been from planet Earth. Absolutely spectacular. Well done NASA & Administrator @rookisaacman @nasaadmin 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Artemis II lifts off of pad 39B, as seen from right outside the fence. On April 1st 2026, NASA’s SLS rocket flew off the pad at 6:35 PM. Perfect light and not a cloud in the sky. The greatest launch I have ever seen by far. Four astronauts are now in low earth orbit, bound for the moon and to travel further than any human ever has. A big thank you to the hardworking employees at NASA who got this beautiful rocket off the ground. I know this moment was even more special for them than it was for me. Good luck to the crew on the rest of their journey! This video was shot on a remotely triggered video camera placed less than half a mile from the rocket. I am so so proud of it and ecstatic that it came out. 🎥 me (@nyoom.tm) for @thelaunchpadnetwork

La NASA está acelerando el ritmo de las futuras misiones Artemis. La misión Artemis III, prevista ahora para 2027, se diseñará para poner a prueba los sistemas y las capacidades operativas en órbita terrestre baja como preparación para el aterrizaje de Artemis IV en 2028. Esta nueva misión tratará de incluir un encuentro y acoplamiento con uno o ambos módulos de aterrizaje comerciales de SpaceX y Blue Origin. Este cambio aumentará la frecuencia de vuelo de las misiones Artemis y permitirá una cadencia de lanzamiento más segura y fiable. No habrá cambios en la misión Artemis II. En este vídeo, puedes ver un time-lapse del cohete y la nave espacial Artemis II regresando al Edificio de Ensamblaje de Vehículos en @NASAKennedy sobre el transportador oruga el miércoles 25 de febrero. Los equipos técnicos llevarán a cabo trabajos y reparaciones en el vehículo Artemis II antes de devolverlo a la plataforma de lanzamiento 39B para su misión tripulada alrededor de la Luna, programada para no antes de abril de 2026.

Artemis II mission successfully launched on April 1, 2026, Artemis II is a crewed lunar flyby mission under the Artemis program. Launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 1, 2026, the ten-day mission is intended to carry NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a free-return trajectory around the Moon and back to Earth. It is the second flight of the Space Launch System (SLS), the first crewed mission of the Orion spacecraft, and the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in December 1972.

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, not a religious man, was so profoundly impacted by a celestial event in space that he sought out a Navy chaplain, overcome with emotion upon seeing the cross. His experience, shared with fellow astronaut Victor Glover, reveals how truly “otherworldly” God’s creation is, humbling even the most scientifically advanced. This powerful encounter showcases how God’s magnificent artistry can awaken a deep spiritual understanding in anyone. #GodsCreation #NASA #Astronauts #artemisii #artemis

⚠️Info: Artemis II launched on April 1, 2026, carrying four astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft on a mission to fly around the Moon. The launch itself went smoothly, with the Space Launch System performing as expected and successfully placing Orion into orbit. Early mission phases, including key trajectory and system checks, were completed without major issues, confirming that critical systems are working reliably. Some minor problems did occur. Shortly after launch, there was a brief communication dropout between Orion and mission control, and a small malfunction in the spacecraft’s toilet system, which the crew managed to fix. Overall, the mission is progressing as planned, with no serious technical failures so far. Comment 🙌 if you read the caption!
