    Two more booster segments for the Artemis III rocket have been stacked at @NASAKennedy. Four out of 10 motor segments are now stacked! The Artemis III mission will launch in 2027 to test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial lunar landers.

    Wrenches down. Engineers have completed hardware development on NASA’s Lunar Environment Monitoring Station, which will monitor moonquakes and meteorite impacts to prepare astronauts for hazards when they are living and working on the surface of the Moon.
    A scientist wearing NASA's xEMU prototype space suit is testing the handling of a mockup version of NASA’s Lunar Environment Monitoring Station, or LEMS. LEMS is about the size of a small suitcase and is wrapped in a reflective casing. The testing took place at the Active Response Gravity Offload System, a simulated reduced gravity environment at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The scientist appears to be sitting inside of a sandbox. Credit: NASA

    Iceland: where Earth joy and Moon joy collide 🌎🤝🌕 Astronauts and mission support teams recently trained in Iceland’s volcanic terrain, one of the best Earth analogs for the Moon. From geology observations to sampling and navigation, they built skills for future Artemis
    Four field training participants, including JAXA astronaut Aki Hoshide, John Ray, Bridget Scheib, and NASA astronaut candidate Cameron Jones, stand in rugged volcanic terrain in Iceland, pointing and discussing navigation during Artemis geology training. The landscape is rocky and lunar‑like, with distant mountains under cloudy skies. Credit: NASA/James Blair
    A small group of people wearing outdoor gear stand on a rocky valley floor in Iceland, surrounded by steep, jagged cliffs of dark volcanic rock. They appear to be discussing the terrain while a narrow stream flows beside them. The landscape is rugged and barren, with no vegetation visible. Credit: NASA/James Blair
    From left, Bryce Prescott, NASA astronaut candidate Cameron Jones, Artemis geology training lead Cindy Evans, and Artemis curation lead Juliane Gross, examine a rock during a geology field training in Iceland. Credit: NASA/James Blair

    Artemis III is taking shape 🚀 From the Orion spacecraft coming together to key SLS (Space Launch System) hardware reaching important milestones, the past month has brought major progress across the board for the next Artemis mission. Read more: go.nasa.gov/4xqqaPJ
    The Orion crew and service modules for NASA’s Artemis III mission are shown mated in a workstation in the Operations and Checkout Building at the agency's Kennedy Space Center. The view shows some of the crew module’s exposed wiring and structural elements on the upper section and the white exterior of the service module below, all surrounded by work platforms, railings, signs, and facility hardware.

    Inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, a team of technicians works around an RS‑25 rocket engine being offloaded for the Artemis III mission. The engine sits on a support stand, showing its complex components. Several technicians stand and climb on the stand to guide the hardware, with one handing a tool upward. The background includes white structural beams, ventilation ducts, and bright yellow overhead crane rails under high‑bay lighting. Credit: NASA/Frank Michaux
    Inside the large high‑bay at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the cylindrical spacer for the Artemis III SLS (Space Launch System) is suspended above the Vertical Weld Tool after technicians completed the final friction stir weld on its barrel section. The silver‑metal barrel is lifted by an overhead crane, positioned between tall blue support columns and weld equipment. The facility’s bright yellow crane rails, structural ceiling trusses, an American flag, and a large banner showing the SLS rocket are visible in the background. Credit: NASA/Sam Lott
    Inside NASA’s Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, technicians guide the lift of a right‑center solid rocket booster segment for the Artemis III SLS (Space Launch System). The cylindrical booster segment, marked with the red NASA “worm” logo, hangs vertically from an overhead crane above a yellow work stand. Structural beams, metal wall panels, and a large American flag are visible in the high‑bay background as ground support equipment surrounds the booster. Credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky
