We had our first suited session in the Orion mockup, always great to train as a crew!

Artemis III will test experimental spacecraft - so we went back to school for a week of high intensity course, flying test aircraft to ‘freshen up’ our skills. Many thanks to a fantastic team of instructors for the incredible week.

Good night hoomans

Italy-US space cooperation

Artemis IV hardware is on the move! Teams recently moved the liquid oxygen tank, which will form part of the SLS (Space Launch System) core stage for the @NASAArtemis IV mission, at #NASAMichoud ahead of inspections and the next phase of production.

Our space telescope Euclid has discovered 31 ancient quasars in the early Universe, including the two oldest ever observed. Their light has travelled for more than 13 billion years, taking us back to when the cosmos was just 5% of its current age. 🌌

I had no idea my hotel had a spot in the history of space flight. Maybe I’m staying in one of their rooms?

This car can drive in any direction: it was developed as a demo/precursor to planetary rovers. I also drove it: pure, astronomical fun!

Two of the four RS-25 engines that will help launch @NASAArtemis III have arrived at @NASAKennedy. Together, the engines generate over 2 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, powering the SLS rocket for the first 8 minutes of flight.

Discovery is our launchpad. 🔭 The science accomplished and technology implemented during Artemis II is helping us build the ultimate interplanetary survival guide for sending humans back to the Moon to stay.

🆕 How did this planet survive the death of its star? ☠️⭐ WD 1856 b is a Jupiter-sized exoplanet which orbits its host star (a white dwarf) extremely tightly. If it had originally been orbiting at this distance, it would have been obliterated while the star was a red giant! 🔥 1/3

Among the most complex events of training, those related to the medical aspect. Having an emergency medicine specialist like @AstroDrewMorgan on board gives confidence to the entire crew.

The storm of a trillion stars

100% of our survival depends on this one planet. There is no backup.

You'd think it's sand underfoot, but it's a small region in the Andromeda galaxy with at least 500 million stars.😮😮

with my new Italian 🇮🇹 colleagues from the esa astronaut reserve - must be one of my favourites. Their smile, the spark in their eyes, is but the first chapter of a story that just started. What a privilege to witness it & share their path.

I’ve been busy the last couple of months, helping with developing different EVAs, using ARGOS, NBL and Virtual Reality. Great teams to work with!
