Physicist George Carruthers designed the first Moon-based telescope. It flew with Apollo 16 and took the first images of Earth in far ultraviolet light. Shown here: Carruthers to the right of his invention, and some of its images. https://go.nasa.gov/34djxZa  #BlackHistoryMonthpic.twitter.com/Q0mqn9SkNN

On Earth, many cars on the road are powered by engines that convert fuel into energy to produce motion. Although rocket science is a little more complex, the same basic principle applies to the engines that will help power us to the Moon.

As we prepare to send astronauts to the Moon’s South Pole with the #Artemis missions, divers at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston are setting the stage for future moonwalk training by simulating lunar lighting conditions. MORE >> https://go.nasa.gov/3LliOFY pic.twitter.com/sFTVJzwqa8

Join us Friday at 1pm ET for a #BlackHistoryMonth event with astronauts Stephanie Wilson, Jessica Watkins, @Astro_Jeanette and @AstroVicGlover, who will discuss Black health & wellness in space. NASA doctors will also join the conversation. Set a reminder: https://youtu.be/s1RtrrA8A_0 pic.twitter.com/HdlbrKvSWs

It’s day 7 of HERA’s simulated mission to space! Here’s our new crew working inside the HERA facility. From left to right: Pietro Di Tillio, Jared Broddrick, Dragos Popescu, & Pat Ridgely. Got questions for them? Ask them thru Groundlinks>> https://www.nasa.gov/feature/houston-we-have-a-groundlink/ …pic.twitter.com/lJhufrJSWu

This @NASA_Technology – that could one day help land humans on Mars – will descend back to Earth from low-Earth orbit to demonstrate that the inflatable aeroshell, or heat shield, can slow down and survive re-entry. Learn more: http://go.nasa.gov/3KR9OIe pic.twitter.com/pDnF0fC39D

An RS-25 engine test is scheduled later today at @NASAStennis. On the first #Artemis mission, a combined total of 55 engines and motors between the SLS and @NASA_Orion will propel Orion from the launch pad, around the Moon, and back to Earth.

"We are 'go' to proceed with the Artemis launch countdown!" New footage shows NASA's Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson leading the team in a simulation countdown recently. Simulations like this ensure we will be ready for the launch of Artemis I.pic.twitter.com/qSg2szzLjh

Think six more weeks of winter sounds bad? Try a permanent lunar deep-freeze! Some of the coldest spots in the solar system are crater floors near the Moon’s poles, where sunlight never reaches the surface. #GroundhogDay https://go.nasa.gov/3ukFLCY pic.twitter.com/L3idh02uUX

In honor of it being 2/2/22, we'd like to introduce you to crawler-transporter 2! This massive vehicle weighs ~6.6 million pounds and will carry @NASA_SLS and @NASA_Orion to Launch Pad 39B for the #Artemis I mission. Take a 360° tour to learn more: https://youtu.be/pjGB2zGjJpY pic.twitter.com/Tv4jeNQbuZ

Kill the lights – we’re simulating a Moonwalk! Divers at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory turned off the lights to simulate what an Artemis astronaut might experience at the lunar south pole - long, dark shadows.pic.twitter.com/naslhzzix7

Today's new Moon marks the beginning of a new lunar year for many East Asian communities. We are so ready for the #YearOfTheTiger! More about new moons and Moon phases: https://go.nasa.gov/3Gib9o8 pic.twitter.com/dkC4cg3amA

Mae Jemison. George Carruthers. Katherine Johnson. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re sharing stories of our many stars who light the way for future generations. Celebrate with us all month: https://go.nasa.gov/2GrOoU3 pic.twitter.com/B1ZjHS0eeB

This month, the SLS has hit some major goals! Integrated testing for #Artemis I has continued at @NASAKennedy Artemis II-V parts continue to be manufactured Engine tests have fired up at @NASAStennis ...and more! Stay up to date on the SLS >> https://go.nasa.gov/3B0CiLn pic.twitter.com/H5dGqSOAeT

LOFTID's getting pumped for launch! Check out this time-lapse of the final inflation test for LOFTID, an inflatable heatshield that will help land humans on Mars. The inflation system is designed to slowly expand before it reenters Earth’s atmosphere. http://go.nasa.gov/3KR9OIe pic.twitter.com/cejyxlNW4V
