Irgendwie geht im Moment das Artemis Gedöns trotz Interesse an Astronomie spurlos an mir vorbei 🤷
Ich habe damals die Mondlandung gespannt live verfolgt und auch die folgenden Apollo Missionen.
Ich glaube die Mondlandung war damals der Grund, dass sich meine Eltern den ersten SW-Fernseher angeschafft hatten.
#artemis2

A cobertura da #Artemis no Brasil é um misto de pena e vergonha. A imprensa anuncia o feito dos norte-americanos como sendo "da humanidade", e usa a terceira pessoa para falar "dos soviéticos", "dos chineses" etc..
Suco de viralatismo que circunda a lua.

The little crescent on the right is Earth. Moon in the middle. Artemis/Integrity on the left. Every human being is in this picture.

Schaue den Live Stream der Artemis II Reise.
Großartiges Teamwork. Der Widerschein der Erde hat die Kapsel innen stark erhellt, sodass die Mondbeobachtung beeinträchtigt war. Das Erdenteam hat die Fensterkühlung montieren lassen für die Abdunklung.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a global treasure. Watching his interview with the CBC in relation first to the significance of the Canadian on the Artemis II and on the mission in general is really a delight.
A truly masterful communicator.

Two new updates: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/04/04/artemis-ii-flight-day-4-crew-completes-manual-piloting-demonstration/ and just in https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/04/05/artemis-ii-flight-day-5-crew-starts-day-with-suit-demo/

Can't remember if I posted this or not so...
Here's The Sphere in Las Vegas with actual NASA graphics of the Artemis II along with the real flight path of the vehicle around the Moon.
To think I just saw The Eagles perform there a few days ago... 😁

It kinda rubs me wrong for astronauts to be quoting jeebus while going behind the moon. is it just me? #artemis

Artemis II reminded me what spaceflight used to feel like—uncertain, human, and a little terrifying.
Not just “cool.” Something more. 🚀

The Moment Spaceflight Felt New Again – Bob Mueller
Artemis II rekindles the wonder of human spaceflight, blending nostalgia, risk, and hope as we take our first steps back toward the Moon.

Is there a version of the #Artemis II stream that only has Integrity & Ground coms & room noise, without any vapid imperial narrative?

The much looked for blue marble photos from #Artemis are of course impressive beautiful but on the other hand I've always loved this feed from Europe's other space agency.
#EUMETSAT

The astronauts may be disconnected from the Deep Space Network, but I bet that big monolith on the other side of the moon gives them great reception, and doesn't run an Outlook server.

Truly amazing!

#NASA #Artemis2

NASA has finally published a detailled simulation of what the #ArtemisII lunar flyby will look like from the Orion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmQ4546iIvI - happy to see that it matches the two simulations (prepared on my request, assuming an April 1st launch) I had shown on March 30th in https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/26/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-26-marz-2026/#Mar30 had essentially nailed it. Actual times of key events have recently been added to https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis/artemis-2/nasa-sets-coverage-for-artemis-ii-moon-mission/ (under Monday, April 6) - the main question now is how much of this culmination of the mission we will see ... and when. At a press conference Sunday at 22:30 UTC more information is expected.

Reading the Artemis II article on Wikipedia, I noticed the Wikipedia BabyGlobe spinning in space on the side.
Wonderful!

Someone needs to sticker giant numbers on the spacecraft windows so they can be identified reliably. Wayfinding is hard.

Earth vanishing behind the Moon for the #ArtemisII Orion - only a super-crappy camera caught the scene live. Closest approach to the Moon and largest distance from Earth also just happened. The latter should reappear at about 23:22 UTC and communication regained: https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/04/07/die-orion-von-artemis-ii-ist-jetzt-hinter-dem-mond/ is covering events now ... and hopefully many *good* photographs arriving in the coming days.

Gestern ein wenig #Artemis 2 Streams geguckt. Irgendwie habe ich mir mehr vorgestellt.
Die NASA selbst macht ja das langweiligste Programm, dass man sich vorstellen kann. Bildunterbrechung beim Entfernungsrekord. Minutenlange Standbilder ohne Ton. Interviews ohne Zusammenhang.
ÖRR in DE: Macht nur Textberichterstattung, kein Programm auf ARD/ZDF-Internetkanälen. Zu jedem Drittliga-Fussballspiel ist viel mehr.
Am Ende haben wir "Senkrechterstarter" geguckt. War OK aber auch nur das. Ihr?

Staying up late to watch the #artemis launch. 🚀

Didn't follow it all today, but it's interesting to see that many of the plotlines of For All Mankind are being followed up IRL. Oh, and forgive me for being not too excited. I remember being woken up to come and watch Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. B/w and upside down.
#Artemis

two Canadians playing key roles right now as this historic flyby happens! Jeremy Hansen of course is in the Integrity capsule and fellow CSA astronaut Jenni Gibbons is the CapCom during that time and most of the active time of the Artemis mission!

No human in my lifetime has been as far away from Earth as the Artemis II astronauts are right now. No one since Apollo 17 in 1972.
They are right now in an orbit that takes them up to 74,000 km high. In comparison, the ISS is in an orbit 400 km high.
Once this phase is over, their trip leaving Earth orbit and traveling to the Moon starts.

One more #ArtemisII piece in https://www.cbsnews.com/news/4-artemis-ii-astronauts-getting-ready-for-flight-to-far-side-of-the-moon-60-minutes-transcript/ (13-minutes video and transcript) - it also highlights the renewed 'race' between SpaceX and Blue Origin for building the Artemis III lander. And falsely claims that they are the first to actually show the Blue Moon MK1: see https://www.instagram.com/p/DRVZLMkkVgO/ from last November ...

At the top of the hour an #ArtemisII L-2 Countdown Status News Conference at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL3AyQ766vc - according to the timeline https://www.nasa.gov/general/nasa-releases-artemis-ii-moon-mission-launch-countdown/ the countdown should begin 15 minutes from now; check https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/artemis/ for updates.

Ah, that was worth the wait. I am going to sleep now.

Meanwhile the Wet Dress Rehearsal is in trouble because of - you guessed it - a hydrogen leak. Since the updates on https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/ have become super-sparse it's hard to tell how serious the problem is.

In 10 minutes the #ArtemisII Fueling Test News Conference will stream at https://www.youtube.com/live/ycqk3uN_N6g - as announced in https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/03/nasa-conducts-artemis-ii-fuel-test-eyes-march-for-launch-opportunity/ and https://x.com/NASAAdmin/status/2018578937115271660 the first launch attempt has already been moved to March.

RE: #ArtemisII WDR: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/03/artemis-ii-wet-dress-rehearsal-test-terminated-at-t-515/ - a lot of unfinished business ...

The #ArtemisII mission has quite an impact on ... the operation of the James Webb Space Telescope as #JWST operations plan currently assumes roughly a quarter of the usual #DeepSpaceNetwork (DSN) access will be available, which has a direct impact on the number of science visits that can be executed and the volume of data that can be downlinked."

As NASA moves closer to launch of the #Artemis II test flight, the agency soon will roll its #SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft to the launch pad for the first time at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin final integration, testing, and launch rehearsals: #VehicleAssemblyBuilding to Launch Pad 39B.

With the delay of the #ArtemisII WDR to Feb. 2 finally confirmed - #Crew12 pre-launch presser day: #NASA yet, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5-5By97H_8 promises to carry the first presser at 16:00 UTC - beware: shocking preview image - while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLxcA8Crpkg will carry the second one with the crew at 18:00 UTC).

45 minutes til the simulated #ArtemisII launch, and according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KYhqePsm38 and https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/19/live-artemis-ii-wet-dress-rehearsal-coverage/ the 2ns wet dress rehearsal is going to plan. How the outcome will be reported: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-to-provide-coverage-of-artemis-ii-wet-dress-rehearsal/

And now on #ArtemisII Update to discuss "the next steps": https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-invites-media-to-discuss-next-steps-for-artemis-campaign/

In the 20-minutes interview #Artemis program was changed. And the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel Annual Report https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-aerospace-safety-advisory-panel-releases-2025-annual-report/ also has something to say.

The #ArtemisII stack arrived back at the pad today, with a launch on April 1st (Europe: April 2nd) still a possibility: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/03/20/nasas-artemis-ii-rocket-arrives-at-launch-pad-39b/ and https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2026/03/Artemis_II_rolls_again and many more roll-out pictures in https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/albums/72177720332614865/

And the #ArtemisII stack is back in the VAB, arriving around 1:00 UTC today: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/25/nasa-artemis-ii-rocket-returns-for-repairs/ - while in the assembly building, technicians will troubleshoot the helium flow issue to the rocket’s upper stage, replace batteries on the rocket’s upper stage, core stage, and solid rocket boosters as well as service its flight termination system.

NASA is taking steps to potentially roll back the #ArtemisII rocket and Orion spacecraft to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida after overnight Feb. 21 observing interrupted flow of helium to the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket’s interim cryogenic propulsion stage: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/21/nasa-troubleshooting-artemis-ii-rocket-upper-stage-issue-preparing-to-roll-back/ - the upper stage uses helium to maintain the proper environmental conditions for the stage’s engine and to pressurize liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellant tanks; the systems worked during NASA’s Artemis II wet dress rehearsals, but teams were not able to properly flow helium during normal operations and reconfigurations following the wet dress rehearsal that concluded Feb. 19.

The #ArtemisII roll-out is scheduled to begin at 12:00 UTC today (Saturday) and will last 8 to 12 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrVnsO_rdew = webcast, https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-press-kit/ = mission press kit, https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/01/16/artemis-ii-moon-rocket-ready-for-big-move/ = the finished stack, ready to roll.

Due to weather, NASA now is targeting early Wednesday, Feb. 25, to roll the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft for #ArtemisII off the launch pad and back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/23/nasa-targets-artemis-ii-rollback-on-wednesday/ - cold temperatures and high winds are expected Tuesday, and rolling on Feb. 25, gives teams enough time to complete preparations at the launch pad that were limited today by high winds in the area.

Pretty sobering read. i am excited humanity is going back to the moon and proud that a Canadian astronaut is getting a chance!
Losing them would be a huge setback for the prestige and trust in the USA space program, but also a symptom of long standing problems.
I wonder if the Canadian Space Agency would reconsider whether it wanted to continue with NASA. It's clear there is a lot of concern even inside NASA about the culture.

While preparing #ArtemisII for flight, NASA engineers are reviewing data after a confidence test Feb. 12, in which operators partially filled the SLS (Space Launch System) core stage liquid hydrogen tank to assess newly replaced seals in an area used to fill the rocket with propellant: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/13/following-confidence-test-nasa-continues-artemis-ii-data-review/ - during the test, "teams encountered an issue with ground support equipment that reduced the flow of liquid hydrogen into the rocket. [...] Engineers will examine findings before setting a timeline for the next test, a second wet dress rehearsal this month. March remains the earliest potential launch window for Artemis II."

"After running through terminal count for the #ArtemisII wet dress rehearsal, the launch team paused the clock at T-33 seconds in the countdown," says https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/19/live-artemis-ii-wet-dress-rehearsal-coverage/: "Teams are now reconfiguring and replenishing the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen systems, in order to recycle back to the T-10 minute mark and perform another run of terminal count. [...] The entire recycle process lasts approximately 60 to 90 minutes."

At the bottom of the hour an #ArtemisII Q&A with the crew from Quarantine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii_tmJff7LQ. Followed at 18:00 UTC by an Artemis II L-3 Countdown Status News Conference at t-3 days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQH21XCsp5U

"The USA needs to take over the Moon and stop all this phases nonsense. We’ll have a full Moon every night, unless werewolves become a big problem. We might even bring the Moon closer so getting there isn’t such a hassle": Donald Trump as cited in #ArtemisII

Finally an #ArtemisII update on https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/08/nasa-conducts-repairs-analysis-ahead-of-next-artemis-ii-fueling-test/ - "technicians have replaced two seals in an area where operators saw higher than allowable hydrogen gas concentrations during the test. Engineers are analyzing the removed seals and developing plans to address all issues ahead of the next rehearsal." No date for that new wet dress rehearsal has been set, and a launch date will be determined only after it is over.

So the #ArtemisII FRR went "go" on all counts, they hope to roll out the stack to the pad again on 19 March and be ready to launch on 1 April at 22:24 UTC - the table of possible launch dates in April https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/artemis-ii-mission-availability.pdf just had another one added for 2 April.

From the #LPSC #NASA HQ Briefing: the four American robotic #Moon landings planned for this year - the Blue Origin HLS demonstrator for #Artemis should go first, as early as next month. (There is a little #VIPER looking at the latter because this homeless rover might fly on a second demonstrator - if they can figure out how to get it from the 8 meters high lander to the surface.)
