It looks like there is some good news with Voyager 1 – communications have been restored, allowing the spacecraft to keep sending data back. The fact that Voyager 1 is 47 years old and still functioning and providing information to us is a testament to the quality of the research and engineering that went into its development by
@NASA
a half-Century ago. Voyager 1 is 15.4 billion miles from Earth – still venturing into deep space, on its own, carrying out its mission. An astounding accomplishment!

Two years ago, Artemis I soared into the heavens—setting the stage for humanity's return to the surface of the Moon.
This was just the beginning. And through #Artemis, we have leap after giant leap in store.Two years ago, Artemis I soared into the heavens—setting the stage for humanity's return to the surface of the Moon.

observed a rock with distinct features that may indicate that Mars hosted microbial life in its ancient past, but further research is needed. It contains a compelling detection of organic material, chemical signatures, and evidence of water interaction. https://go.nasa.gov/3WDv6kHJust in: @NASAPersevere observed a rock with distinct features that may indicate that Mars hosted microbial life in its ancient past, but further research is needed.

Blue Origin is rolling out the New Glenn simulator again today for a series of transport erector integrated ground tests in preparation for launch later this year. Tests will include powering up the pumps that provide pressure to the vehicle hydraulic system, validating the ground system supplying commodities to the rocket, and a rapid retract test of the umbilical connections. More to come.

Access to food is a human right.
As hostilities continue in Gaza, people are struggling to meet their most basic needs, including food & shelter.
Humanitarian organizations must have unhindered access to people in need wherever they are.
