Two years ago, NASA's DART spacecraft collided with asteroid Dimorphos—successfully altering its course. This was Earth's first planetary defense test. For billions of years, Earth has been susceptible to the threat of asteroids. Now, we're one step closer to stopping them.

.@astro_luca, under the watchful eye of @NASA_Johnson personnel, geared up and ready to swim down to our lunar habitation module mockup for the first time. Good research. Great training. Over the #moon level of fun. @USC @USCWrigley @Astro_Megan @Astro_Alneyadi @astro_berrios

Fun and valuable sim today with the launch team to practice Orion ingress procedures as well as how we will emergency egress if required on the pad. @Astro_Jenni and @Astro_AndreD were part of the team strapping us into our seats.

Use of #analog locations on our home world is teaching us what we'll need to be ready for when we send #astrobiology #astrogeology #AwayTeam crews to other worlds. #Iceland #Artemis

Did you know Iceland's rugged landscapes have been a training ground for NASA astronauts since the Apollo days? This summer the #Artemis II crew continued the tradition, sharpening their geology skills on volcanic terrains that resemble the Moon’s surface: go.nasa.gov/47qExYt

So many of us were packed into the Cupola this morning to watch Polaris Dawn come back to earth. It was fun watching @astro_Pettit make this shot happen amongst five human bodies jammed in the cupola. Actually . . . I think having lots of folks jammed in helped him stabilize his…

Polaris Dawn entry this morning. I photographed it at 7:23 am GMT from the Cupola on ISS. In addition to the multi-colored entry trail over Florida, the basic cone shape of the Dragon capsule can be seen. Nikon Z9, 200mm f2, 1/400th sec, ISO 25600.

Glad to have @annawmenon back on planet earth with the rest of the @polarisprogram crew. Even put on our lucky Compton shirts with @haleykesparza which was the same shirt we wore on Demo-2, Crew-1, Crew-2, and Crew-3. We pulled it out for Polaris after the slips and, for the…

It’s giving … Moon. 🌑 Iceland’s stark landscape has served as a training ground for @NASA_Astronauts since Apollo. Now, the Artemis II crew have joined that long history. Read about their geology field training on the Nordic island: go.nasa.gov/4d8bgmD

Opening and closing the hatch on @NASA_Orion… a little more complicated than your front door at home! @Astro_Reid spent last week learning about the engineering behind the hatch that will stand between the #Artemis II astronauts and deep space.

The @PolarisProgram astronaut mission is headed for an altitude 3 times higher than the Space Station, the furthest that humans have been from Earth in over half a century!

The moon setting over the Pacific. Went to the cupola to shoot Tropical Storm Hone near Hawaii but right after we passed by the storm the moon started to set. 400mm, ISO 500, 1/20000s shutter speed, f2.8, cropped, denoised.
