Exciting to see one of our own profiled by @NASA - way to go Jessica!
“As a woman in [STEM], it’s exciting to know that my job is helping send the first woman to the Moon.” Jessica Rose is a @northropgrumman production lead, where she & her team ensure @NASA_SLS boosters are built properly & on time for #Artemis missions. https://t.co/k0dy1ptM38

I'm proud to work for a company that is a leader in space technology, and that is playing a critical role in NASA's Artemis program, returning humans to the Moon.

Amazing Green Run test today - congratulations to @NASA!
Ready to support @NASA_SLS – the only exploration-class rocket capable of carrying humans to the Moon and into deep space for @NASAArtemis.

I’m proud to be part of @NASA_SLS as we are on the verge of first flight, and it’s exciting to see fully stacked boosters @NASAKennedy. Next up - vehicle integration!
An important milestone has been reached for #Artemis I: Stacking is complete for the twin Space Launch System solid rocket boosters. 🚀 The boosters provide more than 75% of total thrust at liftoff. MORE on the work by @NASAGroundSys at @NASAKennedy >> https://t.co/1QVAjkZ9zD

Good to see progress being made on the next Green Run test. It will be great to complete this test series and see all #Artemis I components @NASAKennedy for integration.
Green Run Update: Teams have repaired a liquid oxygen valve on the #Artemis I core stage. The stage will be powered up for remaining functional checks this week before moving forward with final preparations for a hot fire test at @NASAStennis mid-March. >> https://t.co/PdHImD9aDu

Space exploration is imperative to our nation’s success for so many reasons. It’s important we maintain bi-partisan support.
Space exploration is vitally important to our planet, from driving innovation to addressing climate change. In a new op-ed, CDSE CEO @DittmarML explains why our national programs in exploration & science must continue to have bipartisan support: https://t.co/pqYYTc1e4R | @thehill

I particularly liked the opening of this article…. "How an engineering team responds to failures, and even plans them, is almost more important than the failures themselves." #OmegARocket
What happens when a rocket test goes awry? One example is a problem during a test last year of a solid rocket motor being developed for Northrop Grumman’s OmegA rocket, showing how such problems are investigated and resolved. https://t.co/QmiSBhZvMT

The 1st pin - I love it!
Engineers from @NASAGroundSys worked together to carry out the first step in stacking the solid rocket boosters that will help launch the @NASA_SLS rocket for @NASA's first #Artemis mission. Artemis I will be an uncrewed mission that will orbit the Moon: https://t.co/oOOBgjUuaG

It's good to see the rocket train back at work, supporting #Artemis and #OmegARocket!
The latest episode in the #OmegARocket virtual tour is about transporting rocket hardware from Utah to Florida. Thanks, @KatieQian !
