Some more of my work from Artemis 2

Weird day. Decently happy with the work I did but feels a bit hollow after the mission loss.

Go for launch at 0725 Eastern pending the completion of trajectory upload to the vehicle.

GLS immediately called a hold for a Hydrogen Vent. Waiting for more information

On track for liftoff of New Glenn in just under 25 minutes www.youtube.com/live/enQ_IXt...

Yay :D

I wasn’t joking when I said that. I literally got called in to take a photo of a lunar lander in its shipping container.

Nick absolutely killed it with his film work while down here for Artemis II

I took this photo of Artemis 2 with a TLR film camera from the 1950s @spacescout.bsky.social

God I love my weird job

Ohhhh… So shit has hit the fan for how NASA is being run under this administration. democrats-science.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Jared Isaacman posted this yesterday defending his plans to cut out in development hardware on the SLS program. However it is filled with incorrect statements and a massive lack of awareness of the actual program he currently has the reigns of.

It's always fun buying an action camera. Because normally these things get picked up and used for like, mountain biking, watersports, and other things. Meanwhile my action cameras are about to be oh... 50 ish feet away from 4.5 Million Pounds of thrust?

New Glenn makes the trek up Launch Complex 36 ahead of the NG-3 mission.

Back to having a weird job today! Apologies to whoever’s desk I have commandeered.

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me "LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts .... This one is worth it. First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important. #ArtemisII

This image circulating is fake. The front porch was much larger than that and held several Navy recovery personnel as well. Real images can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/nasah...

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

Agreed. NASA PAOs, comms, social media, everybody who has been working this tirelessly on camera and behind the screens, you all are ABSOLUTE ROCKSTARS.

With the Artemis II Live Mission Coverage closed, it lasted 230 hours, 38 minutes, 28 seconds. It had seventy-eight million views.

NASA's Artemis II continuous coverage concludes with a whopping 78 million views over the 10 day mission

All 4 crew members looked quite steady walking across the deck apart from the slightly wobble from the boat motion.

We did it.

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Loved Artemis 2? Want to see NASA continue to do amazing science? Please contact your Senators & Reps to reject the WH’s proposed budget cuts to NASA. Think of it as a way of showing appreciation for the joy of the last 10 days.

I also encourage you to also mention how Jared Isaacman, a Billionaire who has invested in as well as flown two missions for Spacex, has been aiming to cancel the Orion and SLS programs for nonexistent commercial lunar spacecraft.

Integrity Returns Home 📸 NASA / Bill Ingalls

Listening to Beverly’s soundtrack in this wonderful moment ❤️ youtu.be/syIjTTEZmiU?...

Integrity has been powered down. To the spacecraft that fulfilled the dream I had when I first saw you atop the Ares rockets as a child. I thank you ❤️

Jared get off the screen. You spent the past 4 weeks talking about how this program sucks and should be canceled.

Artemis II Back on Earth

Godspeed Integrity, and thank you ESM for your service 🫡

Go time. Artemis II is quickly approaching the atmosphere as it nears the end of its 10 day journey to the Moon and back

No, It’s Necessary

The FY 2027 NASA budget request hides its science cuts by omitting mission names instead of explicitly zeroing them out. We did the work and found 54 missions cancelled in this proposal. This is another extinction-level event for NASA science. Full list: planetary.org/save-nasa-science

This is still just so surreal to see my photos like this. I’ve gotten so much help and advice from people who did this before me, and I cannot thank them enough. But man… to know that they trusted my work so directly is special. I have such a wonderfully strange life ❤️

Great thread here for any media folks ahead of the Artemis II splashdown. While a Stable 2 splashdown hasn't been seen yet on either of Orion's spaceflight, it remains a reasonable possibility. As Jason explains, this is a planned for configuration with up righting systems and contingencies.

Fun day of photography as Never Tell Me The Odds returned to launch readiness at LC-36

Look for a bright yellow dressed person in this video 🤭

Results of my strange job will be published in the near ish future

I have a very strange job.

Yep, there’s all of us.

Orion is behind the Moon. For the first time in my lifetime, there are humans who cannot see this planet ❤️

Artemis II For Carroll ♥️

Less than 30 minutes until Artemis II passes the spaceflight distance record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-j1...

Outbound Trajectory Correction 3 Burn completed! Waiting for exact data but initial glance is a good burn. Despite the name, this was the first Outbound Trajectory Correction done on this mission, as OTC-1 and 2 were both cancelled as they were not needed to fine tune the trajectory!

Fantastic thread from Katie here. The reality of NASA is it is not only just a good thing economically, but they have done all of what they do for less than a penny. I promise you that NASA doesn’t spend too much on their programs, because they flat out cannot afford to.

The problems with US government spending priorities are vast and extremely depressing/enraging much of the time. I desperately wish much more was spent on improving people's lives directly, and much less on war. Science spending just isn't really part of that particular equation.
