For #womenshistorymonth, we see how crews on @Space_Station with multiple women are finally becoming common. Why’s this matter? To me, it’s making more successful missions and a world where people with a dream work equally hard to reach that dream. Here’s to my own astro sisters!

On November 14, NASA is set to launch the uncrewed #Artemis I flight test around the Moon and back. But, why are we going, and what is this mission about? Read on for a basic refresher: tmblr.co/Zz_Uqjcsb0D4ma
The Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), mobile launcher, and Space Launch System (SLS) rocket can all be seen from a low-angle perspective. The VAB is a large grey and white cube-shaped building with large doors. The mobile launcher is grey, black, and white, with many pipes and levels, and the SLS rocket is orange with two white boosters on either side.
The SLS and Orion spacecraft can be seen in the foreground with a full Moon to the left of the spacecraft. The SLS is orange, Orion is white, and the Moon is grey and white. A lightning tower is to the left of the Moon.
Commander Moonikin Campos, a manikin, sits aboard the Orion spacecraft in the Orion Crew Survival suit, which is orange with blue straps. The helmet is white with a black tinted visor. A black hose connects to the suit, and the blue background shows NASA and Artemis logos.
A large gray ship in the background is deploying small boats, with the Orion spacecraft has large inflatable red balloons on top.

Wonder what it’s like to live and work on the Moon? 🌕 Desert RATS returned to Black Point Lava Flow, Arizona this month for “day in the life” mission simulations to prepare for future @NASAArtemis missions. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3TZtuh5
NASA and JAXA teams conduct Artemis field tests in Black Point Lava Flow, Arizona with astronauts, engineers, and scientists to practice in terrain similar to the lunar surface. Image 1: A large white NASA rover is driving in the brown, earthy colored terrain of their training location in Arizona. A mountain can be seen in the background, while bushes rocks and bushes can be seen in the foreground. The rover is decorated with the blue, white, and red NASA symbol, with the American and Japanese flags attached to the back.
Image 2: A field test is conducted at night to simulate lighting conditions that would be similar to the Moon. In the right side of the photo, NASA Astronaut Jessica Meir and Artemis Surface Systems Integration Lead Sarah Shull can be seen looking down for further instruction while Sarah’s arm is lifted in a purple jacket. The white NASA rover sits directly on the left side of the screen while the rover's lights shine on the women.
