We can confirm the successful deployment of the satellites on Spaceflight's Astra-1 mission today. We are grateful to our partner @spaceflightinc and incredibly proud of this mission success. #AdAstra

Spacewalk complete! ✅ Astronauts Kayla Barron and @Astro_Raja concluded today’s spacewalk at 3:06pm ET (19:06 UTC), preparing the @Space_Station for more solar array upgrades. It was Barron’s second venture into the vacuum of space, and Chari’s first: https://t.co/kDxcgLuaPB https://t.co/4CReyAUTte

Let’s jet! ~2 billion light-years away, jets are powered by the gravitational energy of a black hole in the core of a galaxy.

Big news for the #MarsHelicopter: The rotorcraft is on its way to setting more records during its second year of operations. @NASA has extended Ingenuity’s flight operations through September as it continues with scouting efforts for @NASAPersevere. https://t.co/PkgFOYYo2C https://t.co/nKXM9ryXey

Today’s spacewalk helped prepare the @Space_Station for the installation of the third roll-out solar arrays (iROSAs) which will provide power to the station with improved efficiency. https://t.co/h5eBl6iuZT

What’s happening on Mars? 🔴 @NASA’s robotic explorers are on the move and making discoveries on the Red Planet. From interesting images to new destinations, see what @NASAPersevere, @MarsCuriosity and the #MarsHelicopter are up to in our latest Mars Report. https://t.co/Wqs82fj74b

If you’re a kid now, or if you used to be one, you’ve been frustrated now and then. Same with Sophia. She finds herself throwing a tantrum about the most important thing you can imagine. She saves the world. @MichaelEMann @meganjherbert https://t.co/uhfOQGkJwN

Today’s the day. Congratulations to @Astro_Sabot for passing Scott Kelly’s record for the longest single spaceflight by a NASA astronaut! These long-duration missions help scientists better understand how the human body adapts to microgravity. https://t.co/neIHtNpHun

“Touchdown confirmed” was heard around the 🌎 when Perseverance landed on Mars. Those words were spoken by aerospace engineer Swati Mohan, who emigrated from India to the US when she was one year old. She was the Guidance Controls and Operations Lead for the @NASA project. #WHM https://t.co/fBM63XzQD3

Congratulations to @NASA_Astronauts Kayla Barron and @Astro_Raja on today's spacewalk to install a support strut made by our team for the next advanced @Space_Station solar array arriving later this year. https://t.co/ewsx1zGkDO

On March 11, a tiny asteroid hit Earth's atmosphere over the Norwegian Sea before disintegrating harmlessly. With the help of a @NASA system & the collaboration of Earth’s planetary defense community, astronomers predicted the time & location of impact. https://t.co/m5VghdsTKq https://t.co/anH2wVxbhY

Within our Archives’ holdings are more than 75,000 aviation-related technical manuals. Among them there actually exists a U.S. Army Air Forces (AAF) manual detailing the use of homing pigeons in combat zones. Learn more in this blog: https://t.co/6CCaeM0BWX https://t.co/fwzHebBFr2
