In eight days, NASA's Artemis 2 mission is scheduled to launch from @NASAKennedy, sending four astronauts to the Moon for the first time since 1972. Monday through Thursday this week, at 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC), the planned T-0 on April 1, we'll introduce you to a different member

13/ Weigel says there were many areas that were predicted to have more interest at this time haven't borne out in practice. She points to, as an example, the private astronaut missions. She says NASA thought this would've been of more interest. Weigel says there's a consistent

Busy stretch ahead, with three launches in 30 days: our fifth and sixth missions on Atlas V with @ULAlaunch and our second mission with @Arianespace. • LA-05 — March 29 • LA-06 — April 24 • LE-02 — April 28 Together, the three missions will send another 90 Leo satellites

8/ NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman says continuing human presence in low Earth orbit "is not optional." He says the commercial partners can either convince them that the proposed plans are actually viable or to pursue the attachment strategy discussed earlier today. Weigel

3/ Steve Sinacore, program executive, Fission Surface Power, says in selecting a vehicle for launching the Space Reactor-1 Freedom, they will look at what's available in the Launch Services Program portfolio as they make a determination on which rocket will carry it to space.
