Speaking with the engineers who programmed @NASA_Orion vehicle automation, completing water survival training at @NASA_Johnson, and looking at entry procedures for returning to Earth after a trip to the Moon — all in a week's worth for the #Artemis II crew.

Testing time! 📝 @NASA_Orion for Artemis II returns to the altitude chamber, which simulates deep space vacuum conditions, to complete the remaining test requirements and provide additional data to augment data gained during testing earlier this summer: go.nasa.gov/3O1dbiK

Last week, the #Artemis II crew learned about how to keep the team strong during sticky situations, spoke to some @NASAInterns, and still managed to have a little Halloween fun.

Another busy week for the Artemis II crew! Procedure review is monotonous and tedious, but an important step for ensuring that the written procedures work in the @NASA_Orion simulator. Plus, the crew got to decompress by watching the @USNavy Blue Angels Air Show.

What has NASA done for you lately? We've contributed more than $75 billion in economic output, supported over 300,000 jobs, and provided benefits to all 50 states (and the District of Columbia) in fiscal year 2023. Get the receipts: nasa.gov/value-of-nasa/

Our @NASAInterns contribute every day to Orion’s missions to the Moon! At @NASA_Johnson, Pathways Intern Kierra Shook has worked on pyrotechnics testing to ensure Orion can separate safely from the @NASA_SLS rocket once in space.

Testing the future of lunar living! Engineers and astronauts from @NASA, @esa, and @Thales_Alenia_S tested a mock-up of Lunar I-Hab, one of Gateway’s habitation modules. Their feedback helps ensure Gateway is a functional home for #Artemis crews. 🌕🏠 go.nasa.gov/3zYCQVX

Houston, we have a new spacesuit. At the #IAC2024 in Milan, @Axiom_Space unveiled the flight design of its lunar spacesuit that @NASA_Astronauts will wear during the #Artemis III mission when they set foot on the Moon for the first time in over 50 years.

During the uncrewed #Artemis I mission, radiation measurements were taken inside of the @NASA_Orion spacecraft to study how it can protect its crew from potentially hazardous radiation levels during lunar missions. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4eXJnyN
