Can you spot the spacewalkers? 🔍
Six years ago, Expedition 59 Flight Engineers @nasaastronauts Anne McClain and @canadianspaceagency astronaut David Saint-Jacques performed a six-and-a-half hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station (@iss).
Fast forward to now, McClain (@astro_annimal) and Nichole Ayers (@astro_ayers) of Expedition 72 currently on board the space station are preparing their spacesuits for a spacewalk! Targeted for the beginning of May to ready the station for a new rollout solar array, this will be McClain’s third spacewalk, and Ayers’ first.

Suit up with NASA astronaut @astro_anil.
Johnson’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston provides astronauts an underwater atmosphere resembling zero gravity (weightlessness) to train for spacewalks.
For years, @nasaastronauts have performed spacewalks outside the @iss for maintenance and upgrades while wearing the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The spacesuit can weigh anywhere from about 250-300 pounds on the ground.
Spacewalks are some of the most physically and mentally demanding tasks an astronaut can do, with each excursion typically six to eight hours in duration.

Meet NASA’s TH-57B Space Ranger.
When NASA astronauts land on the Moon through Artemis missions, they’ll be relying on training conducted aboard these rotary-wing aircraft. This hands-on training with vertical descent and landing dynamics, paired with resources prepared by the same teams who will map lunar landing sites, will prepare explorers to make quick decisions on the fly – quite literally.

The Moon Base delivery network is growing. 📦🌕
Establishing a sustained human presence on the Moon will require a steady flow of scientific instruments, new technologies, and infrastructure to the lunar surface.
Now, NASA is building on its existing lunar delivery capabilities to meet the growing demands of Moon Base development.
NASA has selected eight American companies for the next phase of our CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative, broadening the network of commercial providers eligible for future lunar delivery missions.
This will help NASA scale up lunar transportation capabilities to support more frequent deliveries of the equipment and infrastructure needed to build the Moon base.
With each lunar delivery, we're building toward a future of sustained exploration and scientific discovery on the Moon.

Now THAT’S a power move. ⚡🌎
On Nov. 5, NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk stepped outside the International Space Station for U.S. Spacewalk 101, marking a major milestone in the orbiting laboratory’s power upgrades.
During the 6-hour, 59-minute spacewalk, the duo installed and deployed the eighth and final roll-out solar array, completing a five-year effort to enhance the station’s power generation system.
With all eight arrays now installed, the upgrades increase the station’s power generation capacity by approximately 30%, helping support critical operations and research aboard the orbiting laboratory.
Five years of upgrades. Eight new solar arrays. One powerful milestone for science in orbit.

How it started vs. how it’s going… 🚀
For 65 years, NASA Johnson has evolved alongside the nation’s space program. Today, it serves as NASA’s Center of Excellence for Human Spaceflight, remaining at the heart of exploration.

“Yo seria borincano aunque naciera en la luna.” 🌙
Or in English -- “I would be Puerto Rican even if I were born on the Moon.” That’s what NASA intern Jared Portalatin Lopez thought when he arrived at NASA’s Johnson Space Center to start his internship.
Growing up in Puerto Rico, Lopez dreamed of being a police officer, a doctor, and even a baker, before deciding to study mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez. As a NASA intern, he’s working with the Safety and Mission Assurance team supporting the mechanical and fluids systems of the Orion spacecraft. He’s learning about magnetic fields within Orion components, getting hands-on training with pyrotechnics, and seeing how mission control operations will support the Artemis III mission.
“I can look back and appreciate every step that brought me here. Each of those turns led me to NASA, where I now contribute to scenarios and systems destined for the next Artemis missions.”

Welcome home! 🌎
After 378 days of isolation while living and working like astronauts on simulated Mars mission, the four-member CHAPEA crew exited the habitat on Oct. 31. Their journey brings NASA a step closer to understanding how crews adapt to long-duration stays.
The crew was greeted by family, friends, and the NASA teams behind the mission—and got to bask in the Sun for the first time in over a year!
Bravo, CHAPEA!

Some costumes are out of this world. The real suits are made to go there. 🚀
For @NASA astronauts, suiting up isn’t about playing a part. It’s about preparing for the real thing.
Designed for protection, mobility and survival, these suits are built for environments far beyond anything on Earth.
Happy Halloween from NASA Johnson Space Center! 🎃

The newest member of NASA’s fleet has arrived! 🚁
The TH-57B Space Ranger will expand NASA’s rotary-wing astronaut training, providing hands-on experience with vertical descent and landing dynamics, and strengthening rapid decision‑making during fast‑changing conditions. These capabilities are among the many skills astronauts will need to support future Artemis missions and safely land spacecraft on the Moon.
