Have you put up your Halloween decor? The night sky will add the finishing touch. 🌕
October’s full moon, named the Hunter’s Moon, will rise on the night of Oct. 26. Its name comes from the seasonal practice of hunters relying on bright moonlight.
ALT A mostly-full Moon appears deep yellow in contrast with the blue night sky around it. A dark flock of birds flies just below it. The tops of buildings and trees peek out from the bottom of the photo.

25 years at Mars!
@NASA's Odyssey spacecraft has served as the longest-operating NASA Mars orbiter. Our mission operations team has operated Odyssey for more than 105K orbits and counting, providing critical communications relay data to enable future Mars missions.

Today, @NASA provided updates on the progress of its Artemis III mission next year, and to return astronauts to the lunar surface in 2028.
Our teams are accelerating Orion spacecraft production to support these missions. The heat shield for Orion Artemis IV already has its 186 tiles installed, ahead of previous schedules.

Things are heating up for future Artemis missions. 🔥
Post-flight analysis has confirmed the heat shield we designed and built for @NASA’s Orion performed as expected during Artemis II.
Now, we’re applying lessons learned to advance Orion for Artemis III and beyond. 🚀

The next breakthrough in Mars exploration could be closer than you think.
Building on our heritage with @NASA's InSight and OSIRIS-REx missions, we've developed a streamlined, cost-effective concept to return Perseverance's Martian samples to Earth for scientific study.

With threats looming over the horizon, our answer to those challenges begins and ends with the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI).
Packed with innovative technologies, NGI is the "smartest" solution to homeland missile defense ever created.

Fission power is key to the future of deep-space exploration. 🚀
We're investing our own R&D into advancing this technology and applaud @NASA and @ENERGY's new agreement to accelerate space nuclear power and propulsion.
We’re getting America underway on nuclear power in space and ushering in the era of a Nuclear NASA.
With the signing of an MOU with @ENERGY, we’re taking the next giant leap toward exploring the outer solar system and sending American astronauts to Mars. Fission power will help us travel farther, operate longer, and power more capable scientific instruments.

At #IAC2026, @NASA's Jeremy Parsons said, “As we turn around now to go straight into Artemis III, we’re seeing about double the speed from what we saw on Artemis II.”
With lessons learned from Artemis II and preparations already underway, teams are pushing the pace toward the next crewed flight of Orion.

Commanders have seconds to react when a threat emerges, and no single sensor or interceptor can act alone.
The nation's Integrated Air & Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture links air, land, sea and space systems to give warfighters the decision advantage when seconds count.
