"Welcome to my old neighborhood." Our @NASAArtemis II astronauts woke up on the sixth day of their mission to a special message recorded in 2025 by astronaut Jim Lovell, the pilot of Apollo 8.

3, 2, 1…liftoff! 🚀 Congratulations to the @ProjectKuiper team on a milestone launch this week, successfully deploying and activating 27 broadband satellites in space.
This is an important first step in the mission to bring fast and reliable internet to customers all over the world.
Important moment for @ProjectKuiper as we just confirmed our first 27 production satellites are operating as expected in low Earth orbit. While this is the first step in a much longer journey to launch the rest of our low Earth orbit constellation, it represents an incredible amount of invention and hard work. Am really proud of the collective team.

Nominal start to our KA-01 mission. We’ve already established contact with all 27 Kuiper satellites in orbit, and initial deployment and activation sequences are proceeding as planned. Thanks to @ULAlaunch for a successful launch – the first of many missions together.

Ok, you have all asked so nicely. But you must promise not to tell pad safety. Turn up the volume. #SILENTBARKER

Right now, a washing machine-sized scientific instrument hovers above us.
Launched today on the Intelsat 40e satellite, @TEMPO_Mission, a @CenterForAstro and @nasa_langley collaboration, is the first space-based instrument to track air pollutants hourly across North America.

The Sun has set here in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Less than 5 hours until @Intelsat 40E blasts off from Launch Complex 40, carrying our @TEMPO_Mission payload with it! Who’s watching with us at midnight?
